My Very First Knit-Along ... Part 4

I've got some catching up to do with my KAL ... Well, since my last post, I did go up to US 8 needles and my squares are now a 22cm square. I re-used Week 1's Bias Garter Stitch Square to obtain gauge:

Then, I finished ...
Week 5's Stockinette Cable Square:

This was a cool square ... I love sweaters with this look and now I can do it! :D


Week 6's Horseshoe Panel with Twist Square:

It was interesting working this square. I found that I don't care for 1x1 cables (or at least with the yarn I'm using); it doesn't look as nice as the Week 2's Basic Cable. And while working the horseshoe part wasn't too difficult, it's not a cable I love very much. :(

Now, I have a total of 7 squares: 4 in the shorter 20 cm square and 3 in the larger 22 cm square, I figured that if I made a total of 48 of the larger squares and 16 of the smaller squares, I might have enough to make a double sized blanket (really, this size is the most comfortable size for a person - you have enough blanket to wrap around you without it being too short or not quite wide enough). I just need one more square to line up a row to see if it'll really be wide enough and to give me an idea of how long it'll really be to see if my estimated count is correct. :P

Who knew that one would need so much math to knit?! :P
