I had to wait for some sunshine to take pictures. I can't quite believe it myself, but the blanket is done (since yesterday)! Done! Done! Done! I was close to doing away with myself and I've promised myself that I would not start another blanket this year! Cross my fingers and hope to die! This was my third blanket this year. I've finished this Log Cabin and the Curve of Pursuit as well. What else can I say? Let the pictures speak for themselves and just for the curious among you all, here are some specs:
weight: 1773 g
pattern: inspired by the Mason Dixon Book
yarn: Webs- Valley Yarns, Longmeadow, 60% cotton 40% microfiber, about 35 50g balls (6 balls red for the border and about 5 balls for each color, the lightest colors a little less)
needles: 4mm
finished size: 64" x 70"
start: June 2006
finish: November 20th

Monika!!! What a gorgeous blanket!! I lokked at the other 2 as well and You are a wonderful blanket knitter. I know I've said it before but I especially love the Curve of Pursuit!!
Oh my...The blanket is gorgeous! I can only imagine how soft it is in the cotton/microfiber yarn. I can't believe you have undertaken so many BIG beautiful blankets this year.I've sewn many log cabin quilts, but NEVER have I knit one of them! GREAT JOB!
holy moses... that's awesome. you must be ready for a rest now!
Can I have it? Puhllleeeeeze! I really, really, really love it!
...ja die bilder sprechen eine eindeutige wunderschöne sprache...ist das eine tolle decke...mein mund steht auf und ich werde mich an den bildern noch laben...

I love it!
Hey! Thanks for YOUR comment! You find your power animal by meditating and the animal that comes to you is it. It cannot be forced and not everybody always finds it on the first time. I'm really new to meditating and recognizing my spirituality but it seems right some how...
I love the blanket. What a gorgeous piece of work. Congratulations!

I am glad I followed your link from the Mason Dixon Knitting knitalong blog. Your knitting is terrific! I love all the blankets you have done.
Time to add you to my favorites on Bloglines NOW!
The glorious colors and your beautiful work make this one gorgeous blanket! How proud you must be!!
Love it!!
:)
Whoo hoo! It looks awesome.
I followed the link from the Mason-Dixon Knitalong. Your blankets are both gorgeous and your sense of color is sensational. I have been struggling with my own log cabin effort, still sorting out color selection which is tricky...but so worth it when I see gorgeous interpretations like yours!
Very well done! It's a beauty. Your color choices are awesome.
That log cabin blanket is an absolute masterpiece! Those colors are fabulous. Many congradulations!
just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
makes me want to drop everything and start "logging".
you are a super knitter!
lucky david!
Oh my gosh, this is *amazing*! This really must be one of the most beautiful blankets I've seen for long - great color mix, and it seems to be so soft and cozy with the yarn you've been using for it! Fantastic work!
Hallo Monika,
Boah!! Ich fall um! 3 Decken hast Du schon gestrickt?? Und eine schöner als die andere. Super Arbeit!
Begeisterte Grüße von Heike
Ditto what everyone else has said. Really great photos! I can see why you're proud of the blanket but also why you're happy to be done. I'm still trying to find all the yarns I know I have somewhere that will make my own log cabin.
What a beautiful blanket! I'm so impressed! Your other blankets are quite lovely, as well. I have a whole stash of yarn set aside for blanket-knitting, but I don't know when I'll ever find the time.
I love it!!! The colors, the photos, it's all amazing. Such a gorgeous blanket. I am always in awe of your productivity! The FOs seem to fly off your needles!
It looks great! Congrats!
Wow! The blanket is so beautiful! Congrats on finishing it.
Wow Monika - you really do put me to shame. I must get back to work on my OCLC at some point (I'm still at 11+ squares)
I also *love* your choice of colours - it gives the project so much depth. Good work - great job - betcha aren't going to start another blanket any time soon are you?
And isn't there one more blanket that you're working on in separate squares? How's that coming?

It's stunning Monica, you should be very proud!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Monika...your blanket is sensational. Your knitting always amazes me; you are a true fiber artist!
Oh my goodness, that blanket is beautiful.And the other two, I love them too. Just beautiful!
That is absolutely beautiful as are the other two also. I made one blanket this year and that was enough for me... wow 3 of them and one just as beautiful as the next.
