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.

I am really, really excited to see your finished blanket. Emily, you deserve a whole cake for that knitting!
July 10th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
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!
July 10th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
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!
July 10th, 2008 at 6:22 pm

July 11th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
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)
July 11th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Lookin’ good!
July 12th, 2008 at 11:38 am
