No pictures to share this time. I’m still working on this log cabin square project bag, and I’ve progressed to joining the two squares into a bag. Now I’ve picked up stitches at the top of the bag for a drawstring casing. I plant to finish the entire knit portion of the bag, and then block it before measuring for a cloth lining with pockets.

On making what I want to
That seems like a no-brainer, doesn’t it? Why would I knit something I don’t want to? Or something I don’t need?

Today I have more progress to update, with some of my brighter sock yarns that I decided I don’t want socks from because the colors are too bright, and I don’t want to make blankets from, including for my cats, for similar reasons. In recent years I like any new cat blankets to play nicely with other colors in my home, because cat blankets are part of the furnishings. Besides, I prefer thicker yarn for blanket knitting.
