Knitting 3-5 rows per day.

I have knitted 29” and must decide if I want to make a square and simply keep going as I have done, or stop the increases and make a rectangle. I’m leaning toward a square, and intend to put tassels or pom poms on each corner.

Still chipping away… a couple test knits took precedence and I’m going to need to do some making up here to finish in time to ship for Christmas…

I counted today and I have 170 rows to go. So I think I’m motivated to work more than 5 rows a day and finish this by the end of November. Woo hoo!!

135 rows remaining, currently 8 min per row. Almost there!

This yarn sucks. So many freaking knots! I bought it thinking it would be better to knit a blanket with fewer joins. I started a new ball 20 rows back and there have been 4 knots in those rows. I’m so disappointed.

Was 60” before washing

Machine washed and dried on delicate, now 49”x51”. Glad I made it big… it shrunk 10”. But it needs to be machine wash and dry able, sooooo it is.

Added tassels to corners.
