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...

Lovely stripes and colors, no matter which way they are turned.
I love this yarn, Pat. If you click on "Edit" and then click on the photo it should let you rotate it.
Lovely squares Pat!
Kudos to any one that can work on the diagonal! My squares always go wonky!
Lovely yarn, great colours!
GORGEOUS squares, Pat!! LOVE your yarn. :))
Apologies that I haven't been able to comment very much in this month's discussion, there has been a beautiful striped bounty of blankets, squares and hats!
Bev, I know there is still one day left of the theme, but I just wanted to pop in and say, as always you have been a great host.....
I agree with Patricia, what a wonderful selection of squares and oh so neat.
A few to add to this month's theme & COM 4 Spice orange squares, 4 multidirectional squares, two bits and bob squaresd + penguin
A fantastic collection, Diane. I really like the added contrast stripe on your diagonals.
