Notes

Bought 5 skeins, planning to use them all. Added an extra repeat of the chart, but I’m thinking it might be too much, seeing as it’s turning out to be 40” wide, unblocked. I’ll probably keep going until the end of the skein, see how much I have, and make the decision then. Seeing as I’m in the UK, and the nearest store to me doesn’t have the right color way, I’d have to order more yarn from the US, and that means more delays, which I’m trying to avoid.

Turned out I had enough yarn. The blanket turned out bigger than I thought it would, even though I used smaller needles than the pattern calls for.

One of the skeins was a touch darker than the others, and unfortunately it’s in the middle of the blanket, so there is a darker stripe, but I don’t think it’s going to be that big of a deal.
