Grannies

I just learned to make granny squares. They are such fun to make, soothing and rhythmic. 

Meg taught me on a recent trip and I've been cranking them out. I in turn taught Em and she is now making them.

I've been using my familiar wool palette yarn from KnitPicks in fingering weight.

I am working out an afghan the size of a doll's bed (theme of small size here).

The colors are from the center, Serrano, Petal (discontinued), Sky, and Pool.

I am not planning on washing this afghan much and that is the only drawback in using the wool.

Unless you have Superwash wool yarn you are stuck with cold water, hand-washing.

You can just barely see our tent in the background.

We had it set up in our backyard, tucked into the treeline.

We had a dab of cooler weather and we enjoyed ourselves outside with campfires, s'mores and flashlights.

Not so much with the bugs and cot-sleeping. :-)
