Notes

The wedding is this Saturday (Aug 2). I’m almost finished knitting, then I have to sew, block, and do the i-cord edging. Do you think I can make it?

July 30 (late) - done knitting!

July 31 - Seamed and blocking … 5 hours of driving for the i-cord edging … I might make it!

August 3 - I totally made it! I left it at Kristin and Derek’s house on Friday morning so that they will discover it when they get home. I’m completely in love with the blanket and I will soon be making one for myself.

Totally copied Brooklyntweed on the pictures, but didn’t do it as well
