My Summer Vacation

First, you join the squares two-by-two.

Then you join the two-by-twos in strips of ten (five two-by-twos).

Next you join the new strips into a ker-chunk.

Finally, you join the ker-chunk to the CounterPain.

I’ve finished half of the Epic CounterPain.

If you don’t count the trim.

I deserve a cookie.

Or three.

    Heck, Emily, you deserve the whole bag!!! I could never have the patience to knit something like that, but it is absolutely beautiful!

    You deserve Cookie Monster’s stash.

    Emily, you rock! I remember when you ordered the yarn for the blankie, holy moly. It is one amazing blanket!!!

    Yes, I’d say you deserve several cookies. That blanket is looking beautiful!!! I know quilts may be faster, but every time you show a square or two of counterpanes, it makes me drool a little more for one of my own. Maybe some day.

    The blanket has turned out so beautiful. I don’t think cookies would suffice for this big project. How about the whole bakery!

    It’s beautiful! I think it’s wonderful you’re not sick to death of it and have it hidden in a closet. I hope you had three cookies!

    It’s looking fabulous!! Halfway there is so exciting I’m with Gracie – have a box of cookies (I would say biscuits, but then you’d think I meant something else entirely, so I’ll use the term cookies) 🙂
