Details:
Noro Kureyon, in many colorways.
Left overs and purchased on sale, at random.
Based on Log Cabin and Miter techniques.
Have some Noro left overs? Make a magic ball.
Start with a log cabin.
Keep going until you have the width you like.
Try to weave in the ends as you go.
Knit one row of miter squares on two ends.
Knit two rows garter. BO
Knit a row of miter rectangles on top of the squares.
Knit two rows garter. BO.
Pick a neutral solid color (Lambs Pride Worsted pairs well with Kureyon since it is also a single-spun.) and do a 3 stitch applied iCord. Sure its tedious, but its worth it!
Get some tea and snuggle on the couch.

done! did an applied 3 stitch icord all around in a neutral color. black was too much of a contract. the applied icord is tedious, (because you have to go into every stitch or you get puckering,) but rewarding!

10/8/10
surprisingly it only weighs 2.2lbs.
its 54”x36”.
I think I want to make it 60” long, so I need to add 3” on each end of miter rectangles, and finish with perhaps an applied icord all around.

When the going gets tough-
The tough go to the living room and start a mindless/ log cabin/ magic ball/ not sure what I’ll be when I grow up/ project.
Noro scraps (Kureyon and Silk Garden). Addi US 6. Just keep going till you feel better.

the big question will be-
will I weave in the ends (there are millions!) or just line it to hide them?
