As you may recall, I usually use my lunch hours at work to get a little knitting done - usually socks. And as you may also recall, I'm hoping to complete at least one afghan this year. And I just happen to have one started... one that's simple and made of sock yarn!
It's the perfect lunch hour project, small, portable and easy. The pattern is the Barn Raising Quilt. Each square takes a couple of hours. I'm using up all my self-striping leftovers for this one.
My squares are approximately six inches - so if I do at least one square
a week - I'll have the blanket ready to sew up in December - it's
brilliant!

Brilliant is right. I can't wait to see this finished!
Your squares look great - I look forward to seeing the completed afghan at the end of the year!
That square on the left looks awfully familiar :) I did that pattern too, but my squares were donated to a CCS fund raiser. It does work up very quickly, and thankfully the squares flatten out nicely with blocking!
I love your sock yarn afghans. You have the patience of a saint. :)
What a great way to use up "leftovers"!! I hope you show us more pictures of your squares and progress.
I want one of those too, but the sewing!
Looking good so far!
Great idea!
Awesome!
What a good idea!
