Notes

Trying to hunt down 13 skeins in 6020 carrot colorway. Proving difficult.

Big thanks to sandrasingh and also Carly and Falinda over at CascadeYarns for helping me track down enough of this (now discontinued!) colorway- which is PERFECT for the recipient.

4/20/13 CO last night, did the seed stitch edge, the setup row and a few rows of the chart. The huge yarn and needles are SO FUN!! I’ve already gone through a skein of yarn and there’s barely any blanket yet. The thing about photos of this blanket that I’ve noticed, is that you really don’t get a sense of how gigantic the stitches are. I’m going to try to post some photos with my hands for reference. It’s awesome.

Cables: SL3 onto cable needle, hold in back, k2 from left needle, sl purl stitch back onto left needle and purl, SL remaining 2 sts back onto left needle and knit.

5/3/13 Started 4th repeat, 7th ball of yarn.

5/16/13 done knitting, just need to block it and sew in ends. :)

5/18/13 Finished! Mailing to the recipients on Monday. Hope they like it!
