Notes

5/8 update
I’ve done 4 blocks of the sage seersucker pattern; since I finally bought a swift and baller I caked the other colors so I could do at least one square of each. I have to adjust the row counts in the cable and rib squares to more closely match The baseline seersucker stitch template. I will have to carefully block.
This is knitting up quite quickly. The yarn is very soft.

I will probably have to break out a few more colors to get all the blocks I need…I don’t have 2 skeins of all the colors.

04/29/2014 Start
I’m biting the bullet and working on a larger project. Since this blanket is built from small squares I thought it would be a good way to start.
The thick and thin nature of Billow adds a lot of interesting texture. The square patterns aren’t too complex, they shouldn’t be totally lost in the yarn texture.

I am adding 2 stitches to each square to make a nice selvage edge for when I have to sew everything together.
