Greek Key Placemats

We're back from March Break.  It was a wonderful week at my mother-in-law's in Quebec.  It's been very difficult to get back into the old routine since this week has been anything but routine.  Things have been going a little nuts, thus making it difficult to get a blog post out or update my projects on Ravelry.

I am finally going to finish one of my UFOs.  I started this back in 1996 inspired by a technique article called "Dropped-Stitch Weaving" in the Spring/Summer 1996 issue of Vogue Knitting - SCARY.  I have UFOs that old; predating the birth of my children.  I got bored with it because it was so simple and not really challenging, so I put it aside.  Now, I look for that mindless, easy knitting to fill small gaps of time where I wish to be more productive and clear the horrendously large stash in my closet.

I will eventually post the project with free instructions to download on Ravelry.  I'm getting there.  I pressed the mats a couple of days ago.  Now, I just have to do the weaving; which could take quite long.  The photo below is of small sample I worked on.
