First finished blanket strip
Here’s the first completed strip of the baby blanket I’m making. Six more of these (each knitted in the same sequence but starting with a different color), and then a whole lot of clumsy seaming, and poof! that is one overheated baby!
Each square is about 5 x 5 inches, unblocked. (And it’s superwash wool, so presumably it won’t shrink.) The finished blanket will therefore measure about 35 inches square.
The nice thing about this project is that knitting row after row of garter stitch is so easy that even a feckless, mistake-prone pseudoknitter like me can manage to read while knitting, without screwing anything up. I’ve been catching up on a lot of unperused browser tabs, therefore, and picking up my knitting while I wait for my sloooooow computer to process commands.
