Cool Blanket Patterns
I came across this ebay seller while doing a little blog surfing this morning.
In the spirit of the log cabin blanket that is sweeping the blogs, here are a few other patterns that could be made from scraps. They're all from the ebay seller woolhelmina and they're all based on mathematical formulas. Cool!
The only catch is they're away until mid-August so their auctions are down. if you go to their feedback page you can click on previous sales to see pics. They're very unique!
A few of my favs:
Curve of Pursuit. See a pic of a finished one with a different color layout here at Smoking Hot Needles(scroll down to the July 13th post)

Whoa! I absolutely *love* double vision! That's something I would have sewn as a quilt; I never would have thought to knit something like that! I am so buying that pattern when they come back! Thanks for the heads up!

These have been written about in a few knitting mags. They're over at Woolly Thoughts http://www.woollythoughts.com/creation.html

Those are amazing blankets. I don't think I have the stamina for all that garter.

Thanks for the alert -- I've been thinking about squares lately, but I have the same concern as Colleen. So. Much. Garter.

I was just looking at this seller less than an hour ago! I bet we clear them out when they're back from vacation. :)

I saw that Curves of Pursuit square the other day, and was blown away. What a beautiful use of short rows!

Stunning! I bet they're really fun to knit, too!

Wow. That Penrose...gorgeous.
By the way, how are you going to pick the winner of the magazine issue? I have an extra copy of that same one and would like to give it away too. I'll wait until you've picked someone to put mine up.

My favorite is the Square Deal. It would make a wondeful blanket!
