      This post is perfect timing for me. I am re-learning to knit--it's been over 40 yrs since I made my last knit project. I've made some swatches of basic stitches, but am ready to try something more difficult. Thank you for the inspiration.

      Thanks for the ideas--a very eye-catching round-up!

      I finished off a knit blanket my grandma started before she died, but other than that, I've never knitted a full blanket either. So far I've reserved knitting mostly for hats, scarves, and dishcoths. But that Lucky 4-Leaf block above just might change my mind. Hey, look, it's a 12" block, too! Hmm...combine with crochet? That could become part of my Moogly Crochet-Along afghan since I opted out of the third block. 🙂

        Any yarn you like! I like to use cotton for ones I'll use on the dining table under hot dishes, but you can use any yarn at all otherwise. 🙂

        Since each of these is on a different page, they may have different options available. But if you go to PrintFriendly.com and enter the URL, you'd be able to create a downloadable PDF for personal use. 🙂
