Notes

2013 09 11 - Bound off this am and put it in the wash. Pre-blocking measurements were 102 in x 102 in. A trip through the washer and drier snapped the superwash back to 80 x 80. I’m glad I went for the extra rounds on this or it might have been too small for comfortable sharing.

2013 04 21 - blanket is now pretty much wide enough for a queen sized bed.

2013 03 28 - Blanket is really getting big. Rows are taking over a half an hour to do.

2013 02 12 - ripped back and reworked as a giant grannie square, using purl soho’s giant giant grannie square as my starting point. Need to update picture.

2012 05 01 - too heavy to work. My right wrist is screaming for even trying. Hibernating until this is better.

2012 03 12 - carpled up my tunnels working on the blue & gray version of this. On hold for two weeks to recover.

2012 02 01 - Still waiting on yarn.

2012 01 28 - It’s amazing how much yarn this thing’s eaten, and how short it is. Currently it’s at 22 inches of blanket, with a goal get it to full size coverlet size (at 85 inches.) I had to order additional yarn to finish.


colors inspired by the super easy baby blanket by Purl Soho in an attempt to use up the leftover yarn from Sean’s Cunningly Knit hat.
