May size down from US 10 to US 9 because I’m using superwash yarn, which tends to stretch overtime

Welp, I made a major mistake in the beginning and didn’t repeat the second section at all :( I didn’t notice until I got to the BO edge and realized how small the blanket was.

So, I’m starting over with fresh yarn, and if/when I run out of that, I’ll unravel the used yarn from this first try. That way, I only frog what I need

I hope to make the second blanket by the test deadline of April 5th.

I’m almost caught up to where I was before I discovered my error and had to restart. I ended up frogging the whole first blanket and plan to use that yarn for a sweater in the future.

Finally finished knitting the blanket! Just need to graft the edge’s CO and BO sts, then block the whole thing!

Grafted the ends and will start blocking today - not an April Fools joke ;)

Finished blocking and I’m so pleased with how it turned out! Though it’s smaller than I expected, I don’t mind because I have enough large blankets anyway. Now to decide where she’s going to live in the house!
