What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It has been a while since I updated on my 6-Day Crochet Star blanket. 
I ended the same way I started: with light gray. It's nice to finish something. I need to see what I have to make a scrappy version of this one. Some of the one's I've seen are simply stunning.

Each round is taking more time now. I had to grab a bigger project bag to hold it because my medium bag wasn't cutting it any more. Still loving this blanket. Are you working on any long-term projects?

Another round on the star blanket. This is a great project. I've almost memorized the pattern. Just a few more rounds. 
I think the next one I make will be a different color every row. Because I like to challenge myself.

This one is coming in a little late today. I forgot all about it until after my workday. 
At any rate, I've been working on my star blanket all week. 
Some days I get a round finished. 
Some days I don't. I think I almost have the pattern down. I'm having fun and it keeps growing. I see more of these in my future. Perhaps with loads of different colors, or self-striping cakes, and even different yarns for some added texture. Stick around to see how it grows.

Last month YouTube fed me some videos about the 6-Day Crochet Star blanket from Betty McKnit. I decided I wanted to make one. I sat down with my copy of the pattern, and the YouTube videos and got stitching. 
I'm using up some yarn I picked up from one of the big box stores. I have a collection of blues and grays that I'll be using for this project. I'll try to post periodically to show you how I'm progressing.

Another two rounds. It is almost big enough to be a sweater! I'll see what it looks like after I get the next row completed. That first green sure isn't messing around.

I'm still working on my granny cardigan. 
This is one of those projects that is easy to work on.
The rows are taking longer each time. It great to see it coming together.

I bought myself a silly amount of yarn a couple weeks ago. This is Big Twist. You can find it a Joann Fabrics. 
I decided to make a granny cardigan. 
This is how it is going. So far, so good.
