On the Needles, Hook or Bobbins
Cold Goat Farm Spinning Project
- Fiber: Cold Goats Farm; believe it is a merino/mohair batt (8oz) in a natural, undyed cream color
- Ravelry Project Page
- Twist direction: singles = Z plied = S
- This means when I'm spinning, my wheel is spinning clockwise and when plying my wheel is moving counter-clockwise.

- Hook: G (4.0 mm)
- Ravelry Project Page
- granny squares- 1 color or 2 (colors on each half a diagonal)
- I used Canva to help me figure out color placement to extend out the quilt pattern.
- I am seaming squares using the Mattress Stitch.
- I started working on this after being inspired by NDJen04's video about her scrappy blanket- you can find that find on YouTube.
- I had the 2 color (on the diagonal) granny square memorized but totally forgot how to do those. Here's a helpful video I found that helped refresh my memory.
- Goal: 6 per week
- Progress: I am still ahead of schedule!
