12-1-2014: Love the result of this cabled blanket project using my favorite bulky yarn from Cascade. Did one extra 40-row pattern repeat to use up the yarn and because Jack is 6’3” tall. I didn’t partake in using the markers/moving the markers - it just wasn’t necessary to have them placed between patterns at all in my opinion. I only kept one marker on each end to mark the borders.
The photos of the blocked blanket (those are pins and wires that you see along the edge) were taken at night and the shadows caused the blanket to look like it is more than one color - but in real life it is just one gorgeous color of purple. The last picture taken from the side view is kind of freaky. I’ll be happy to give this to my nephew later this month during his winter break from college.
