Notes

08-10-2025

I truly don’t think I’ve ever cast on a project as quickly as I did this blanket! I rarely am drawn so strongly to blanket projects, but something about the shape of the motifs and the possibilities with hand dyed yarn spoke to me.

I am using all scraps and random mini skeins for this project, and after 4 blocks, I’m absolutely smitten.

08-17-2025

Finished all 24 blocks and blocking. I have chosen two yarns for the joining rounds, a berry speckle and a rainbow speckle held together. I will wait until this section is done to decide on final border color.

08-19-2025

Finished Border with Joining Color, and will start Final Border today.

Decided against the final bobble border, so I just did the chain stitches without bobbles. I will block tomorrow and put better pics up!
