I can only imagine the confusion for people who do a Google search for that topic, and end up on a knitting blog! They are probably like, "What a A-hole!" (sometimes I am-heh)
Now on to the main reason we are here. I am going to try and post my WIPS on Wednesday, as a way of holding myself accountable for finishing them. Here is the thought process, I will post the pic on Whippin' it out Wednesday (referred to here on out as WOW- because it just sounds too repetitive to type it all out), by the next WOW, it should be done. That is the goal anyway.
And yes that is a binder clip aiding in my stitches matching up perfectly. Use what you got, I say!
Do you remember the Baker's Dozen Swap squaresI received. They are getting put together and I am excited! It has been more work than I originally thought. The reason being is that obviously not everyone's gauge is the same, nor the yarn, so that means a lot of resizing on my end. As well as trying to makes squares out of some "not so squares"
I decided to make all motifs have 40 chains on each side. That mean increasing and decreasing galore. I am using 20 of the 23 I received, which will make for a very size-able blanket! Yeah!
Wish me luck, because it is going to be hard to pry myself away from all the socks I want to work on.
Have a great rest of you week, and watch this super cute video. It will make you chuckle!

lol, Andi!
When your blanket is done you'll feel like you've gotten rid of something substantial from your WIP pile :) Keep going!!

I love how your blanket is coming out and I can't wait to see it when you're all done. I would have never thought about doing a grey blanket but I'm glad someone else did because it's just amazing.
