Scrappy!

I wish I had taken a picture of it!  I had a bin FULL of scrap sock yarn.  Some of it was from my own sock-knitting.  Some I received in trade for other items.  I also had quite a bit from the Phat Fiber boxes I was a part of years ago.

Why throw good yarn away?

All of that scrap yarn, and 3 1/2 years of knitting off and on and I'm done!

 

This is Frankie Brown's Ten Stitch Blanket.  I love this pattern and it's simplicity.  Once you have the corners down, it's a perfect project for knitting during a suspenseful TV show.  Best of all, it's a free pattern!

 I modified the ten stitch cast on to fifteen stitches, and I added a 4 stitch applied i-cord to the edge to make it look more finished.

Even though it's very nearly July, I'm suddenly obsessed with blankets.  I'm currently working on a test knit blanket for a well-known pattern maker and I'm spinning all my superwash wool top to make a Domino Star Blanket (yes, crazy, I know!)
