All yarns are STR Heavyweight. Log cabin is being done on Addi Size 5s.

Thank you!
This pattern has interested me also and I absolutely love the colors you chose. You really have an excellent eye for color – you’d be a great quilter.
Dare I ask – did you have all those in your stash?? I’m jealous either way!
Loverly Cara. The yarn certainly does rock.
It is to die for!
Dayum! So pretty!
Life is quite simply not at all fair.
It’ll be gorgeous 🙂
JFC, woman. I won’t even say it. Oh, all right, I will. This is not a word I use often: Jealous. (hey, it’s another “j” word.) 🙂
Wow. The colors are stunning, as are the photos. I will be very interested to see how this project progresses. It may very well be the most beautiful log cabin blanket ever.
WOW! First you knit the most beautiful shawl in the world and have everyone drooling. Now a to die for log cabin afghan. Norma isn’t the only one who’s jealous;)
Just beautiful! I especially love those yummy greens. Can’t wait to watch the progress on this one!
I know you’re a professional photographer so I shouldn’t be surprised at the beauty of you photos. Can I be in awe, though? The colors, the textures, you have captured it all fantastically!
Wonderful colors! This will be a beautiful project :o)
That is going to be fabulous, you know!
OMG – that’s going to be gorgeous and I love the colors you’ve chosen. Simply divine! 🙂
Beautiful lighting and layout. Out of curiousity, where did you procure the STR heavyweight?
is that for me? please pretty please say it’s for me! 😉
the colours are amazing. i absolutely need to get my hand on some of that semisolid str.
Oh, this one’s going to be luscious!
Oh yeah!!! Gorgeous colors — ooooh, it’s going to be such a yummy blanket, Cara! Do you like working it? Do you have an overally plan? I’ve only made one or two squares with crap yarn, but I loved the, um, process.
I’m drooling over here! I can’t wait to see more.
And I thought I would avoid the temptation of knitting a log cabin afghan. Clearly yours will not help me – it’s gorgeous. Must. Knit.
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. The variation within the colors gives the block a homey, already worn-in vintagey feeling. Your blanket is going to radiate warmth, the recipient is very lucky!
Skrumpshus. Just delicious. I can’t wait to see how you’re going to do your log cabinning (that can’t possibly be a word).
Fantastic. Lush. Divine. Freakin awesome.
Oh, Cara, you evil temptress…
What gauge are you getting on the heavy str and 5’s in garter?
My color wheel is just wizzing around, making all kinds of juicy combos! Need.to.knit.this.
Simply amazing! I have to get my hands on some of that STR yarn–it was sold out before I even got to the MSWF. I can’t wait to see your progress on this project.
Yer killin’ me. Love the shading of the colors.
Hope you’re bringing it to town. xox Kay
Those colors are unbelievable. The afghan will be too, I haven’t the least doubt.
My first thought was that I wanted to frame the last picture and put it near my yarn. Very inspiring!
Gorgeous, gorgeous yarn.
*drooling*
Your corners on the log cabin look so sharp and perfect!
I just have to have some of that yarn. Stunning. I missed it at MD.
I love this! Please post about it everyday–I seriously want to see every new stitch of color, AS IT HAPPENS!
When, oh when, will Blue Moon’s new website be up so we can see ALL the colorways? Are the ones you show all they have in the heavy weight? Is it like a dk or worsted? This yarn is waaaay too addicting for me!
A rockin’ rainbow!
Stunning! And oh, so tempting… I’m going to enjoy watching this project progress. 🙂
Well damn. You just had to go and start one of those super yummy log cabin blankets didn’t you. And in such yummy colors. I’m still trying to recover from the ombre blanket, but MDK make a blanket so tempting. I really can’t wait to see how this develops because so far – it’s fabulous.
Now I need to knit a blanket! OMG, the colors are fabulous, just fabulous! Even the greens are fabulous!
Colors, gorgeous. But I’m am sooooo impressed with the even quality of your stitches. It makes the square even more squarish. 🙂 I take it that it is unblocked as I see your needle still in. Absolutely stunning. I just hope mine is as gorgeous *after* it is blocked!
Purty colors, I like the slight variegated look. Man, I’m jealous of your lighting. 🙂
Oh my goodness, it’s gorgeous. I’m looking forward to seeing it done. (Not putting any pressure on you, just.. It’s going to be beautiful.)
Oh Man! Will you stop tempting me to steal from the tuition?
Mmmmm . . . love the colors!
that’s really cool looking. aren’t log cabin squares addictive? are you making multiple squares or just building from the center with all of the colors?
Gorgeous. This pattern was sort of calling out to me, but with your photos it’s more of a shriek. Someday would you post a photo of the back of it? I’ve yet to see one and I’m curious ..
Is it my imagination, or is this a departure from the norm for you? I seriously checked to see if I was on the right blog!
‘Course, I did a miserable job on the quiz yesterday, so let’s just say that I don’t know much;-)
Oh Cara, those are beautiful colors and the blanket looks gorgeous. I can’t wait to get some Socks that Rock and for the coming pictures.
Oh wowie, wow, wow! Those greens are wonderful together! 🙂
Lovely. I’d be tempted to have one log in a variegated… How many squares, and thus what finished size is your goal?
I stopped breathing for a moment. Gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration.
Mmm, great color sense. Am I seeing three in each tone? What is your rule here?
The colors are gorgeous! I love the way the greens change in your log cabin blanket!
Geez, Cara. I just emailed Tina about getting me some STR heavyweight yesterday for a baby blanket. I was gonna do the spiral again, but now I’m seeing Lincoln Logs everywhere I look!
I am in love with those colors…in.love. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
I love your squares! The colors, the texture, I just want to curl up in that teeny square! If you don’t mind, how did you modify the pattern? I am new to knitting, and I am waiting for my copy to arrive (grad present) I looked at the pattern at my friend’s, but I can’t figure out how to get your look!!
Beautiful work! I love reading your blog, you provide wonderous inpiration!
I love your pictures – I’m really enjoying your blog.
Great colors, Cara. You are going to have so much fun kniting that blanket!
Don’t be surprised if I bandwagon you because those color combos are damn brilliant.
Wow! That yarn, and the log cabin motifs are lovely.
I’m speechless.
The beauty of those skeins! OMG, I could just look at them all day.
That’s going to be one gorgeous, almost sinful log cabin blanket. Argh!
This is just beautiful. Your knitting is so precise – I would never be able to get the corners so perfect. And the colors…..Lucious

Amazing colors and textures!
Wow…all I can say is wow! Those first green squares look stunning. I love your sense of color…you really have a way with it! I can’t wait to see what color is coming next!!
Oh my. Love it!
I want them all……… you and your eye and colour matching abilities… if you werent so nice I would be calling you names 🙂
but really: hand over the greens and no one gets hurt…
I mean it 🙂
Is it sick that I am almost wishing to be put on bed rest so I would have time to follow your lead? I so wanted to knit this baby a blanket and I have so been lusting after the log cabins that have been cropping up. I am insanely jealous.
I love your photographs of yarn and projects. Exquisite!
I am green with envy over that palette. Those colors are unbelievable. What a sophisticated log cabin.
That’s going to be one beautiful log cabin blanket!
I love, love, love, love, LOVE it.
whoa! i just commented with my entry, but i had to recomment, cause i just realized that your header changes! sweet…
Those colors sing together. STR, of course. I’m zeroing in on that spinel……
Wowza! that is beautiful!
I was teetering this way and that way about buying the book and starting a Log Cabin. Your gorgeous LC shoved me over the edge. Thank you!
That is going to be incredible!
That is so fucking gorgeous. You are a genius.
Damn…
