Blanket Blues

They're not really blues, but I wanted an alliterative title.

Here's the blanket's progress so far. I'm very pleased with it, though it's not actually going according to plan...



You may remember that the intention was to knit a variety of squares using different techniques. Well, I forgot that different stitches would affect the size of the square. So to get equal sized squares, I would need to adjust the numbers of stitches and rows.

We do remember that I am a lazy arse don't we? Yes. Good. So, new plan:

1. One column of brightly coloured squares in moss stitch (red, green, yellow).
2. Column of intarsia hearts.
3. One column of brightly coloured squares in moss stitch at the opposite end, so we end up with a more uniform design (red, green, yellow).
4. Another column of intarsia - letters and numbers, this time.

The aim is to keep it brightly coloured, so while the stitch patterns might not vary, a baby ain't going to care. (Ok, so they like texture variations, but the colours are the main thing, she says.)
