This is what one makes when one's mother is librarian. Auntie's mother just celebrated an undisclosed number of years, and this is what Auntie sent her.
Specs:
5 skeins of Lampedusa Redwood. Auntie would willingly marry this yarn, but please do not ever again ask her to block it.
Knit on size 8 needles. In retrospect, of course, using size 7 needles would have eased some of the blocking pain.
Lining fabric "Marcus Mansion" from here
Final size: 11 inches square.
Knit using the all-in-one method in the orginal stitch n bitch book (knit 11 inch square bottom in seed stitch, then picked up stitches for main body, using stitch markers to mark each side), reinforced used variation of techinque in stitch n bitch nation for using craft mesh plus lining.
