Notes

Planning to use the many Sunshine Yarn mini skein kits that I’ve not used yet. This blanket will be made entirely out of Sunshine. I’ve not yet decided upon the border but it will most likely be a neutral color.

03.21.10 : Cast on the first square today and finished it. It was made with Down the Rabbit Hole, one of the Alice in Wonderland colorways. My square weighs in at 12.9 grams, so just shy of 50 yds.

05.10.10 : Hibernating!

If you have any colorways not listed above that you’d like to donate I’d be very appreciative. I’m not using any of the really contrasty bold colorways (aka ones that scream rainbow) but I am looking for some of the more variegated overdyes. I’m pretty set with semi-solids.

My goal is 63 colorways and I want to eliminate my duplicates.

Special thanks to the following for their generosity in donating their scraps for this blanket. Truly appreciated!
