Sampler blanket

Well, I've gathered together all of my bits of wool, and am making a sampler patchwork type blanket. Some of it is knit in "log cabin" style, where you pick up and knit along the edges of each new block, but i don't want increasingly long patches, so I'm sewing together a few different ones. I've come across some fun stitches in my Stitchionary that I've been able to test out and display, which is fun. It looks like it works best not to try and connect too many blocks while I'm knitting, as it gets a little bubbly from eyeballing rather than counting my gauge.

Also, I felted some old crap that I've never worn after taking what yarn from it I could. I'm not yet sure what do to with it--it's too thick for adding to my blanket. I forgot to take before and after pictures, so maybe I'll just photo it when I find something cute to do with it
