Sweetie's birthday is towards the end of this month. Otter picked out the colors and the yarn, I did the actual work and Bill's contribution was to tell me when he thought it was big enough. Well, we had to let him have some input! :)
It's a shape known as a Granny Square. It's more of an afghan or blanket, which is what it was intended to be, because of the size. This is a close up. (EDIT: I just noticed that the afghan wasn't squared when I took the pictures. It looks a little wonky, both on the sides and on the close up. Pilot error, it's actually a square but I didn't get it straightened out when I was taking the picture so it looks a little odd and so does the center, but they are not like that in "real life." Part of the reason (a big part, actually) for the pictures not being the best was that I was trying to take the picture BEFORE the beagle could get inside the house. Because any blanket on the floor is fair game for her to park her furry behind on, and I didn't want to give Sweetie a dog-haired blanket!)
Two rows each of pink and white, alternating.
I did remember to take a picture, which I have been forgetting to do lately. But I forgot to measure it!
I'm very pleased with the way it turned out. Triple stitch is one of my favorite stitches and Granny Squares are enjoyable to make. And blankets are really good to work on when the weather is cool, because they cover you as they get bigger.
(We gave it to Sweetie today, otherwise I wouldn't be posting the pictures yet.)
