I feel like making a blanket... I have four fairly big balls of pink yarn, so I'm looking to use that for a blanket for
Yaya. I haven't found a pattern that I like yet though, so I'm going to make up my own.
I found a stitch pattern called
Checks & Ridges which is reversible, has a four row repeat, and looks cozy, so I think it will be perfect. Next I need to decide how many to cast on. I want to use either my 7 or 8 circular needles and my yarn is fairly lightweight, although I will be doubling up. The stitch pattern called for multiples of 4 + 2 and after reviewing other blanket patterns I decided to cast on 170.
So, I'm off to knit, I'll keep you updated :-)
My four month WIP is finally complete! I was averaging a couple hours a day on this and started back in November... I finished it the end of February. It's a little crazy looking, but it is the favorite colors of my 8 year old girl. I started with the pink which I found in a bargin bin at a great little Seattle shop... from there I got the idea of adding a couple rows of the crazy pink/purple/orange stuff that I'd made a scarf out of. So then I had to match that and found purple and orange at Joann's that was a cozy feel.
