    Oh Carla,
    Your fiddle bits cowl is looking so pretty ❤. Sadly I frogged mine 🫣 and started a mitered square blanket instead 😂. I’m in love with your finished blanket. Great job!!! I’ve been addicted to working on mine, it’s so easy to put down when I need to quickly get up and tend to something around the house. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

    Hi Carla! Hooray, it’s done and beautiful. I know the border is no joke. I love how you keep it real. You got me interested in making that cowl with my scraps. I have a magic ball that is growing too. I always admire your goals and i have one similar to yours to create a make nine grid with items in my Ravelry que that I have purchased. This summer, I’d like to make some shorty socks for SSC, but first I got to get a pair off my needles before I make the shorties. I’m glad you made it safe to Michigan by dodging the storm. Wishing you a Happy Memorial Day!

    Congratulations on finishing your blanket and it turned out beautifully! I’m knitting on mine now as I remember seeing yours in one of your very first podcasts and knew I wanted to make one. So I finally started last week and have 17 squares already. I’m determined to knit at least 1-2 squares each evening and if I can stay on track be done by Christmas. I just wrote down your details for number of squares and Icord details. I’m wondering if a single crochet edge around outside edge first would help in picking up stitches since I’m not slipping first stitch. Making notes to self 😂
    Your harrowing experience of driving in storms brought back memories. It is absolutely terrifying and glad you only had minor damage.
