Notes

Baby blanket using G-carriage (garter carriage KG-93) on Brother KH930. Garter stitch is built-in pattern 537 in the KH930. Tension on KG-93 is 8.. (8 and two dots, almost 9). Alternated stripes of 2 rows and 4 rows, mixed colors to use up even amounts of all in a symmetric fashion. Stash-busting of sock yarn extraordinaire. Knit on 160 needles (80 Left and 80 Right). Carried yarn up the right side. Total finished weight: 235 grams. Preblocked dimensions: 63 cm x 72 cm. Finished post-washed dimensions (not really any blocking) 62 cm x 76 cm.

This takes forever (for a machine project) and there’s quite a bit of fiddly-ness with changing colors every couple of rows, but it does mean I don’t have to knit garter stitch for a kajillion rows and still get a nice cushy texture at the end!
