The Truth is Out
The real reason I don’t want to stop knitting CounterPain Squares:
It just looks so good.
With 40 squares together, I love it even more than before.
Mamie likes it too. And she is hard to please.

Small world story. I called my daughter in Indianapolis and she was having a pampered chef party so I said I would call her later but I wanted to tell her that our team had taken 3rd place in the rag race. When she repeated that to her party attendees one of them said “What is your mom’s name?” She told her and the lady said I’m on that team too. Her name is Marie from IN. I’m amazed!!! De in Ca

WOW! That is SO SO SO beautiful!

That is almost too beautiful to use, on the other hand, to use it is to love it….and then it becomes a true modern heirloom. I just want to reach out and touch it! I am a diagonal girl….I think counterpanes are on my future must-knit-list. Just stunning, and I agree it looks even more wonderful put together.

How beautiful! Did you design this pattern?
September 13th, 2007 at 6:50 pm
Oh wow, it’s spectacular. No wonder you’re addicted.

Absolutely Beautiful! That will be something to cherish for a long, long time.

It is fabulous! I don’t think I’d be able to stop knitting something so beautiful either.
September 14th, 2007 at 8:37 am
Oh WOW….this is absolutely GORGIMOUS!!! No wonder you don’t want to stop!!!! I hope it has met with everyone’s approval or is this strictly for Mamie? LOL!!

oh my GOSH IT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!! I’m sorry if I’m making you repeat yourself but where is this pattern from???
September 14th, 2007 at 4:01 pm
I love your counterpane squares. I too would love to know where the pattern is from. I have both The Great American Afghan and The Great American Aran Afghan square books, and love to make things from these, and I don’t recognise them from those.
September 15th, 2007 at 4:00 pm
OMG, if I started that, I don’t think I could ever stop. Gorgeous.
September 15th, 2007 at 7:01 pm
Ooooo, pretty. Makes me think of Gran Mother every time I look at it.
September 16th, 2007 at 9:05 pm
Your counterpain is looking so gorgeous. No wonder you don’t want to stop knitting on it.

It really is beautiful. Kittycat has taste
September 26th, 2007 at 12:56 pm
Emily, oh my gosh…that is the most beautiful thing. Each square is like a little artful creation…it must be a joy to knit.

Truly a work of art Emily. An heirloom to be passed down (hopefully) for many generations.
How much further do you have to go?
