Notes

It took a few years to collect the necessary skeins of Silk Garden for this project -- roughly 1 per block. I chose random colorways, going towards bright and warm colorways rather than muted and blues, although there are some blues and some muted in there too.

I knitted 20 blocks, which yielded a blanket large enough to cover a double bed.

The borders and i-cord edging took just a few yards more than 8 skeins of Lamb’s Pride. Note that adding all that wool made the blanket significantly heavier. Warmer, too!
