Buzzwords

Popular words or phrases which are trendy for a while. Many of them make no sense to me, like mogging iand maxxing. 
My latest squares are pattern #80 in the book and called 'Buzz' I did these over half term , and found them ridiculously simple. They grow so fast, as every other row is 2 stitches shorter than the previous. It is wonderful to watch that long row of stitches decreasing and becoming a square with a neat diagonal. A variation on this and this . I had four small balls and used them up pairing in different ways

Blue & dark pink
Dark pink & pale pink
Pale pink & green
Green & blue

This had a pleasant sort of rhythm to it. They can be arranged in any orientation and I had fun flipping them around to make different patterns. This is my favourite arrangement. I have two and two have gone to Sussex. [the author chose black and yellow for her stripes, I presume that's why she picked that name]

Last night, we flew back to Manchester. Our city break in Copenhagen has exceeded all our expectations. Once we are back to Cornerstones next week, and we have sorted out the photos, I'll write a proper post. Thank you everyone for your kind words.

  4. I'm so glad you had an excellent break in Denmark.
    That's an interesting way to create a square. I had to look at it carefully. I have just finished up a large ball of thrifted cotton yarn, knitting dishcloths from one corner to the opposite one, adding a stitch until halfway through, then removing a stitch. They are easy to knit while watching a show.

    1. These two methods both create neat squares, and easy TV knitting!
