Yep, that's right. When we put together this blanket
for Trashpony & Foal we were so pleased with our effort
that some of us decided that we wanted one, too, for ourselves.
Obviously, as the Trashpony blanket was a joint effort, we only needed to do a few squares each, but if we want one for ourselves we'll have to knit the amount of squares we want for the individual blankets.
We still want to do a swap though to get the blankets to be as colourful and interesting as the original -and to feel the urban75 craft club love.
We agreed that the squares should be a little bit larger, 6 inches side length knitted in the special 'bias' style (does anyhone have a link to the pattern?) we used for Trashy's blanket.
The yarn should be needle size 4-7, washable, wool/cotton/etc, no acrylics.
All colours and patterns.
Eme, BiddlyBee (ZoeHerself and Innit?) and I are all aiming to do 64 squares to get a more adult-sized blanket - but the number of squares is entirely up to you; the swap will be one-for-one, exact method of swap tbc.
To allow for the fact that we might not only want to knit blanket squares for the foreseeable future but might have other projects on the go, we've decided to give ourselves a year to do them.
The Great Square Swap will be happening Easter 2008.
I *think* that's about the size of it. Please correct me if I'm wrong etc.
All welcome.
