Me again.

Foxie knits - but she also crochets. Have another day off with the kids. Thank you Mr #mlk. 
Do hash tags work here? Guess I will have to look into that. Trying to up readership a little. If you stumble across this share it with your friends! If only to laugh as I get off on my tangents. Like that sorry. 
So I have been making all those pretty baby blankets and the kids blankets on the super warm Bernat Blanket yarns. I really do love sitting under a mostly finalized project. They are so warm. Makes them hard to finish as I really would love to keep ones for myself just to enjoy. But I know better. Hubby heard me say such last night and offered to buy me the yarn to make my own. He's so sweet. He hasn't a clue that it's not cheap yarn though. It's not - even on sale a big ball is $7 or more and the little ones are around $3 each. At least locally they are.  But what I do have is leftovers. Odds and ends from the items I have finished up to here so I have started some squares with the hope of eventually having enough to sew them together. 
This is a mitered square. Gives it a neat look. Simple pattern. Used a few different colors as i only had a little of each of them left. Done on a size N hook very quick. Very easy. 
This is the start of a star stitch square. Also N hook. Not so easy but with this size needle and yarn very quick. I also think I'd like to try to do a square of this in the same pattern I used for the blanket I made out of this. The bricklayers lace pattern but we will see. I will do a square of each of the yarns I used for the kids blankets in the pattern that I used for each of theirs next. Hopefully with I was have something I can sew together like a memory blanket soon to show you here.
