I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I used to "suture for a living", I continue "to live to sew". These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts. I love the patterns and interplay of the fabric color. I would like to explore writing about medical/surgical topics as well as sewing/quilting topics. I will do my best to make sure both are represented accurately as I share with both colleagues and the general public.
I knit this one without a pattern. The edges are a simple garter stitch. I then knit the inside in a block pattern of knit blocks/ garter blocks in a checkerboard pattern. The yarn is Valley Yarn Berkshire Bulky in colorway dark grey heather. Finished it measures 50 in x 68 in. I gave this one to a nephew and his wife. I finished it back in March.
This afghan was finished back in February after starting it in Dec 2022. I gifted it to my nephew Carson. The pattern is Where the Sidewalk Ends by Fifty Four Ten Studio. The yarn is Plymouth Yarn Encore Chunky in colorway oatmeal. I cast on 130 stitches, did 32 pattern repeats to get a larger size than the pattern intended. The finished size is 57 in x 69 in.
