When I decided that I was going to knit Erica a wedding blanket, I said there were a few rules:
- Finish Marissa’s wedding blanket first
- Finish Tristan’s cARGHdigan first
- Figure out the schedule for knitting, so I would know when I was slipping
On the other hand, just because I decided to wind some of the Cascade 220 hanks doesn’t mean I’m actually starting, right?
As soon as I took that picture, I realized it looked slightly phallic, so I tried to fix it by reordering some of the blue…
And ended up with Yarn Leia instead. Apparently my talents lie elsewhere.
You might be asking – why are there eight of them? Well, I figured eight hanks would be a decent start. The pattern I’m using is knit with four balls (two of each color) at a time, so with eight hanks it’s like I have two sets of knitting. Not, you know, that I could actually use two sets of knitting at once, but…well, if I could, I could, if you know what I mean.
Speaking of sets, I then took four of them and put them in the bag from a sheet set – I love that it fits the yarn perfectly, has a pocket for the needle, and even zips closed.
It’s like having my very own blanket kit! So exciting! I can’t wait to use it!
Not, mind you, that I’m allowed to yet. I still have miles to go on my other projects first…
…crap, I don’t know how long I’m going to be able to resist this. It’s new and shiny! Pretty please can I knit with the new shiny yarn?
