I finished my section of the Oddball Orphan Blanket today!
I used Vanna’s Choice – Colonial Blue and knit the Broken Diagonal Check pattern from the book knit & purl…
Chicky and Guy Friend held it up for me today, being careful not to stretch out the top section and thus keep all of the stitches on the needles.
Here’s a close-up of the pattern…
I wove in all of the ends from previous knitters and will be ready to mail it as soon as I get the green-light from the project organizer.
Now I’m inspired to finish my latest prayer shawl! I have 16 rows left!

Yesterday, when I got home from my early-morning trip, I saw a package by my front door.
When I opened it, I found this:
It’s an Oddball Orphan Blanket! It will be headed to an orphanage in Mexico when it’s finished.
It has been quite some time since I’ve worked on an oddball project, so I’m thrilled! I think I’ve selected a pattern for the 200 stitches sitting on those needles. Although I’m feeling under the weather today, I hope to pick it up tomorrow and begin working my 3″ section. I’ll post a picture when I’m done.
