Square Swap Fun

I am having lots of fun getting envolved with TheKnitGirllls Ravelry group. I finished up my square for April/May. I used Honeycomb Cable Square by Fiona Robertson-Clark with a few changes to get a 12" square block. Cast on 78 stitches for a 9 pattern repeat and used size 6 needles for cast on and borders & size 8 for cables. Yes, I did frog this (rip it) about 4 times to get the sizing right. What a great learning experience for me, I picture myself as a designer somewhere in the future. We all should have goals!

It was made for Debbilynn42 Since she is from Grand Rapids, Michigan, I had to include some Louisiana fun stuff.

The stitch markers were made from neat stuff picked up at Michaels with a 50% off sale on the beads. I will cover them on another blog. I also include a package of Red Beans & Rice mix, the flavor of Louisiana had to be included, right? A postcard with instructions for Crawfish Boil, some plastic crawfish & a aligator, Mini bottle of Tobasco and tiny Tony Chachere seasoning packet.

Pick out a block/dishcloth to try in a hard looking pattern. It is small and once you get going, you realize everything is K & P!
