A Bluestocking Knits

Part of the appeal of this sampler project is that working it a few pieces at a time, squares can be finished in an hour, and I did mine in odd moments here and there.  Week 2 asks for the traditional granny square again but this time with only three rounds — the smallness of the square means that you can make quite a lot of them fairly quickly, and the request is for "10-14 squares" with the proviso that if you've chosen a ground color — the cream Paton's Classic, in my case — at least four of the squares use that color as the third round.

(So glad I decided to finish and block the squares as I go!)

I made the last batch and wove in the ends watching the first two episodes of "Great Canal Journeys" with Timothy West and Prunella Scales.  It's not only a lovely travelogue around Britain, of course, but a tender and moving story of a couple celebrating fifty years of marriage by doing something that they love, both of them long-time narrow-boaters, and at the same time coping with Pru's slowly-advancing dementia.
