Hello dear friends,



I just acquired "200 Knitted Blocks" by Jan Eaton.



It is great, I might even get back into the block exchange. It even gets into intarsia, 2 color knitting, cables, and etc. Meaning, it is good for beginners to advance knitters. I picked it up at Barnes and Noble.



Has anyone else read it, what do you think.



I love it when you get a book that is worth what you paid.

Gail is still in the rehab hospital, I don't thing she will be home Thursday as expected. She is doing a little better but, the progress is slow. She is getting better.



It is awful lonely here.



Hugs & god bless, Dennis & Gail

Aww Dennis - so sorry to hear she won't be home as soon as you expected. At least you have your friends here who are happy to keep you company. Keep your chin up!

Sending knitting hugs your way.....

Hi Dennis - my sister and I both used this book to make the afghan squares for my mother's afghan. The 2-color slip stitch patterns are particularly worthwhile in my opinion, I had never understood this kind of knitting before and my sister was a new (6-month) knitter and we both used a number of the patterns. And I grasped the mitered square finally also. One tiny caveat - I don't think there are really

200 patterns, she uses that leaf an awful lot. But - I think it's WELL WORTH it. And seeing the colored pictures is kind of inspirational for me too.

Alison,

I noticed the same thing. Some patter were just color changes.

I purchased with the idea of getting back into the square exchange, I was in it for a long time and got busy with other things.

Thanks for the response.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Nancy,

Thank you.

Gail was in better spirits today. There is a limit for her rehab, I hope they can help before Gail comes home.

Well I hope I don't do that :) .

I will post pictures when I get some finished to let you know what I do.

I have been out of the square exchange for a long time.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail
