So if you are a knitter you have probably heard of the Mason*Dixon books or patterns. They are these AMAZING patterns that look nearly impossible to complete but they are so awesome and the chicks that wrote these books explain things so simply that it makes you feel like you can do it!! And when you do you feel like you can make more and more and before you know it you have expanded your knitting skills like crazy…I have both books:
Mason*Dixon Knitting Outside the Lines
So here’s my goal…knit EVERYTHING in these 2 books…I don’t have a clue as to how long it will take me but I will keep track of them all on here. I have already made a couple of things and have quite a few things on my “want to make” list. I am going to start with the first book and so far I’ve made the Ballband dishcloth (page 21), which I’ve made quite a few of but only have pictures for one of them so here is that one:
And then I have done a version of their How to Log Cabin blanket (page 68)…so I think that counts…I am actually still working on it but I hope to finish it before autumn.
Here’s a list of all of the patterns in the Mason*Dixon book.
