First Squares


Here's the oatfield in progress. I bravely learned a new stitch and have been enjoying it ever since. It feels as good as it looks! I am making twelve of these oatfields, plus one for the school. What an eye-catching combination of ocean waves and kiwi.


Everyone has turned in a first square - that's twenty four squares! Our first blanket is finally coming together. It will be ready in time for the annual auction on March 21st. It is our school's twentieth year, and we are excited to celebrate this milestone. A second blanket will be ready soon after, and we plan to sell it in our shop. In May, we'll have a grand exchange. Everyone will gather with excitement to swap their squares.


Here is the first blanket coming together, slow but sure. We fussed on paper and on knitting needles to choose colors and textures for our roads. Our patience and hardwork is paying off!
