I’m having a bit of difficulty with this, as the pattern says to knit until you have 150 stitches and then decrease. If you do that, you don’t end up with a 35” square. I’m getting gauge, so that’s not the issue…

8/4/2010 - I’ve decided to just add some extra rows to get the blanket up to 35”. I have enough yarn. I also decided to frog what I’d done so far, as I wasn’t wild about how the blanket was looking, doing bar increases. It was causing the sides to tighten up too much. I’m just doing the backyard yarn overs (a la EZ) instead, which is looking fine, so far.

8/11/2010 - the blanket is looking much better! I’ve posted my progress so far on my blog: http://wildknitter.blogspot.com/

8/16/2010 - Still slogging away…I’m not at the halfway point and am now doing the decreases.

10/22/2010 - Finally done! I got most of it done a while ago, but I was procrastinating on washing and doing the tassel.
