6.22.13 - Converting this to baby blanket size…hopefully!

6.24.13 - About a third done! It’s going well. I based the blanket style and size on the original Plymouth Encore 8-hour baby blanket, like this one: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/mrsdr/original-encore-8-h..., and used this dishcloth pattern for the TARDIS. I made the TARDIS bigger for blanket size by doubling the width and length of the TARDIS pattern (so I did every row twice and doubled each stitch in each row) and added a few extra rows of stockinette above and below the TARDIS. I cast on 74 stitches with the yarn doubled. So far it’s 28 inches wide and I’m hoping to get it to 32 inches long.

6.28.13 - All done, just in time for the baby shower! It was rectangular when I finished but shrunk up to a square after I washed and dried it. Yarn was fine, but I do prefer Kraemer Perfection for a washable wool/acrylic blend. Stitches were a little too loose. Might’ve been the yarn, but I should’ve used size 11 needles. All in all though, it turned out nicely. Especially love the seed stitch border.
