9-4-09 7pm: Working out how to make this big enough for my queen-sized bed. So far, I’ve swatched with US8ss and got a gauge of 4.36sts/inch. Currently swatching with 9s. Because I’m a tight knitter, I may even go up to 10s if the 9s don’t give me a loose enough gauge. Also, I’ll probably end up making the border a little thicker to make up the difference. I love this yarn, though. Soooo soft and comfy (ha ha) to work with!

9pm: Talked to Brit and he said that he thinks the fabric is perfect on the 9s. So I’m gonna go with that. To make this fit our queen-sized bed, I’m going to make the border extra thick to compensate. I tried working out the math in the blocks and… well.. it doesn’t add up. So I’ll make due with what I’ve got!

2-5-10 8:26pm: I haven’t done much with this blanket. However, tonight I finished up block B. About ready to start block C. Found out that KP is discontinuing the black (HUH?!), so I bought up a bunch. So much for slowly collecting, eh?

10-18-10: Finished up the third block. Am sending it off to katinkat for her to help me with it because I am slooooow and cold.

11-26-11: Seriously considering just knitting a border around this and calling it a lap blanket. Blankets are totally not my thing and I don’t know why I keep insisting on making them.
