Notes

June 7, 2013
Added a couple photos. The color isn’t good - the yarn is really a deeper green - but it will do. :)

Finished! It is washed and drying (finger-blocked). It looks better than it did while I was knitting - the columns of ribbing straightened out and look quite nice. And it turned out larger than I had expected (swatching is really a mystery).

One small problem - I ran out of yarn while binding off. I went to find my swatch, so I could use that yarn. Instead, I found the pattern, and realized I had forgotten to end with garter stitch. So I had to frog some rows - enough for the garter stitch edging, and enough to bind off this time.

Settled on size 4. Cast on 141 stitches. Based on my swatch, I’m hoping for a blanket that is 26” by 26”.

Swatching with a size 5 needle. Still deciding if this is the right needle size…
