Building a Log Cabin

Been working on the Log Cabin Baby Blanket almost daily - it's too hot to have a wool/alpaca sweater sitting on my lap, so Rogue progress has slowed for now, and instead, the blanket, in it's Lion Brand Cotton Ease, has become the main project. Knitting is still slow due to the carpal tunnel, though, but at least I don't feel totally useless since I've not even been able to draft a pattern or cut fabric in two months.

I am now stalking ebay for lots of the Cotton Ease in black (Licorice). I had 4 skeins of it a year or so ago when they discontinued it, and I sold it, but now, after actually knitting with it's newer release, I want more. I am thinking of making a Log Cabin Blanket for Chris and my bed in black, dark gray, light gray and white. So very spooky goth it will be.

I also finally finished up Bubby yesterday...



He was only half a bear before, but yesterday he got his legs and a little drop-stitch scarf with yarn leftover from Harley's Voodoo wristwarmers. She adopted him when he didn't even have arms, so his scarf had to match something I'd made for her. I still have a wee little bit of the blue yarn left, I think he needs either a matching hat or booties too.
