Fontaine is growing slowly on its tiny needles. I have just finished the armhole decreases on the back. I am still enjoying it and I love the colour but I am taking my time over this one...
I have been wanting to knit a blanket for quite some time now... I have been searching for the ideal patterns/ideas... Being a large and long term project, I was looking for something that would keep me interested (i.e. the blanket would grow without me noticing...) And I think I have found the one! It is The Great American Aran Afghan.
The book contains patterns for 24 aran squares of different levels of difficulty and introducing various techniques.
Being a coward, I started with the easiest squares. After all I haven't done any cable work for a long time...
I thought it would be the ideal project to bring along with me at our knitting group on the island. But I am afraid I will have to give up the idea. I can't talk and follow the charts at the same time!
