Mitered Square Blanket and No Laptop

I get a lot of questions and feedback about my knit mitered square blanket. I started another blog that just deals with my yarn projects http://easycrochetpatterns.blogspot.com/ because I thought maybe a lot of the quilters weren't interested in knitting and crochet projects.    If you want my version of the pattern, you can go there and click on the tab below the banner photo and print it.  You are supposed to use your leftover sock yarn on this blanket.  Now before you get too impressed and think I've knit this many pair of socks, scroll on down.

I've been busy appliqueing on my Hearts and Flowers quilt by Kim McLean and cutting out leaves, flowers, and circles from my new Kaffe fabrics.  When my husband gets home, I'll figure out where to stick my camera SD card in this computer so I can post photos of my progress.  This computer looks so big that if I put the SD card in the wrong place, it might swallow it whole.  Off to do some stitching.
