can you spare a square?

I love that episode from Seinfeld where the woman in the next bathroom stall won't give Elaine a single square of toilet paper. You can't spare a square?! Come on, fellow knitters, you can spare a square for Becky's super cool swatch project. Here are some of mine in the works.

I'm using all seasons cotton leftovers from my summer tanks and since I'm a big dummy and can't figure out how many stitches I'd need to get 6x6 in. with a fancy stitch pattern, I'm just doing mine kinda plain. Every blanket needs some plain patches to set off the others though, right? So there's another reason to make squares: just think of how your swatches will really "pop" next to mine!

i have that debbie abrahams book and i believe there's at least a few ASC 6x6 blocks in there, i can email you a PDF of them or something... that is if you'd like to do anything other than plain. :)

I'm trying to come up with some extra squares for that project. :)

I LOVE the stripey sweater. Now I want to make one...hehe.

Thanks for the tip, Carolyn. I ran out at naptime and picked up the 100 Afghan Squares book at the library. Now I can make some fancier squares!
