Log Cabins and Snugly Baby Bamboo Sweaters

Log Cabin with Patons Canadiana

Log Cabins

To say that it has been a while since I last posted, would be a gross understatement.

But just because I haven’t posted in some time, doesn’t mean that I haven’t been busy behind the scenes working on knitting projects and running the Knitters Attic store.

One of my New Year’s resolutions is make sure that I am keeping all the Knitters Attic blog readers updated with the happenings of myself and the store. I am going to start by posting a bit more regularly.


So, I’ve already told you that I have been behind the scenes working on a number of knitting projects.
Log Cabin with Sample Patons Canadiana Yarn I Used


This Log Cabin to your right, I knitted using Patons Canadiana.

For those of you who are not familiar with Log Cabins or Log Cabin knitting.

Log Cabin knitting or the Log Cabin knitting technique, starts with the knitter creating the centerpiece -- a square.

From there, the knitter creates strips, which are then added to all the sides of the square.

After adding these initial strips to the sides of the square centrepiece, the knitter can keep going and going and going like that famous pink battery bunny.

The sky and your creativity really is the limit as to how expansive and diverse in colour you want to go. In the photo immediately above this text, I have included some sample colours of the Patons Canadiana yarn that I used for this project.
