HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Welcome to our first 'themed' month for 2024.......
DIAGONALS and STRIPES!!
When thinking of diagonals, I liken it to climbing a mountain (or maybe a small hill. I'm afraid of heights!). You can go quickly at the bottom (short rows)....but then as you near the 'summit', the 'path' takes longer....until there you are... 'at the top' (finished increasing your stitches) and then you're laughing, 'cos now it's downhill (decreasing stitches) all the way.....and by the time you approach the finish line, you're practically sprinting (through those last, ever-decreasing rows)!!
Stripes, in all manner, including diagonal stripes, create some of THE most snazzy and interesting blankets. They are also a good way to use up any little leftovers you may still have, hanging around from other projects....Thin stripes, thick stripes, diagonal stripes....all fun, all pretty, all GREAT!!
Let's start the year off with a BANG!!
CoM (colour of the month) is...

Pat, your squares are lovely. They may find themselves snuggled up to Karen's striped squares ... a good match maybe? Well done ... xo
These are wonderful squares, Pat, regardless of which direction they are turned. They'll add a great pop of color to a blanket.
LOVE this shade of orange, Pat!!
Your fingers sure have been busy. :))
What a fun pumkin color.
Pumpkin seems a very apt description, Amy. Super colour, Pat.
Stripes feom a Caron Cake I bought in Michael's. I think the colours suit this months CoM . My squares are still upside down, but I wanted to post them.
Beautiful shades, must take a look at these cakes!
Super stripes, Pat. Such pretty colours, and that yarn is so soft and warm ... xo
I agree with the others, Pat. These colours are so warm looking.
Beautiful - you've reminded me that I have 4 cakes of this in my loft..... It's really lovely knit up ⭐
