Cables and bobbles

I've finished another 2 squares. Barabara McIntire's - this just typifies aran for me - and Ann McCauley's. It's a good job I enjoy bobbles!

Both knitted in Cascade 220 (Oatmeal and Ice Mint) with 5mm KnitPicks Options needles.

Now, which one next ...........

I've Only Just Begun!

Hi Folks - I'm brand new here. Your squares all look magnificent!! I was so happy to find this blog; I'm kind of overwhelmed before I even get started. I've purchased my wool, and found my gauge on size 8 needles. Now, I have a question right off the top.

I see that different patterns use different size needles, and the general instructions say to change needles according to the gauge on the various blocks - but I do not see gauges on the individual blocks. Am I missing something?

Planning to start today with one of the squares that looks like it is easiest. Of course, at the same time I am in the middle of knitting a sweater, and working on 3 different scrapbooks, and cross stitching a baby name hanging (we won't mention the 2 almost full time jobs).

I'd be glad of any help. Thanks so much - Alice
