This is one of the dozen or so projects I have on the needles right now, the Log Cabin Moderne blanket from Mason-Dixon Knitting, made from my all-time favorite yarn, the Cestari 75/25 cotton/wool I bought at Maryland Sheep and Wool (with a few skeins I bought on our cherry blossom weekend in D.C.). I had some small regrets about bringing this particular project with me on the bus from NYC to Hartford, when the guy in front of me pushed his seat waaaaay back, but now that I'm here at UConn, reading old poultry farm documents six hours a day and feeling absolutely knackered at the end of it, I'm glad to have this waiting for me in the hotel, ready-made for mindless teevee knitting.
Incidentally, this is nowhere near to being done. Miles to go and all that. :)
For the knitterinae: Pattern is the Log Cabin Moderne from Mason-Dixon Knitting by Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne. Yarn is Cestari DK 3-ply, 75/25 cotton/wool, knit on size 6 bamboo circular. Colorways are White, Burgundy Heather, Blackberry Heather and Lilac Heather. These colorways are supposed to repeat for 5 more blocks, but I might throw some Blue Denim Heather in there anyway, just for the hell of it. :)
