I was chatting with my hubby and mentioned the last will and testament, which left us scrambling through our Dr. Demento (I have most often heard it with Tae Kwon Leap) to see what songs we actually had. However, the power of the Internet brought us this:
Of course, I couldn't help but geek out over this for a bit. After my geeking out, I went back to the couch with my pile of knitting and proceeded to work on the baby blanket. After working on the baby blanket for over 2 hours on Tuesday and a bit this morning (it was an hour but it wasn't as productive as any hour yesterday), I have this to show for it.
I don't think the dyelots being different in this one section is going to be that big a deal (crossing fingers), and I'm hoping that finishing the blanket with the original dyelot will mute some of the reaction I have to the blanket in general. I'm enjoying working on it, though I'll admit that it does make me sleepier if I'm already inclined.
So, the current blanket stats:
I'm on the 4th and last ball of Plymouth Encore Colorspun Worsted. It is currently about 28 inches wide and 22 inches high. I have about 4-6 inches of knitting in the double knit section before I switch back to straight garter. I think I will be able to block it to the size in the pattern, but if it doesn't become fully 27 x 33 (especially because mine managed to be wider anyway) as long as it is close to square and about 30 inches in at least one dimension it should be a fine blanket.
Game plan? Blanket in the mornings and once I've gotten home from work. The ribwarmer (which probably won't get a picture until it is completely done) at lunch. I have to fight myself to knit with the end of Puzzle Quest just around the corner (I'm playing my second time through as a warrior).
