2.10.13 - Cast on 114 stitches double stranded on size 11 needles. Placed markers between each pair of increases and different colored markers between each pair of decreases -- made it so much easier to keep up with. If you place the markers between the two increase stitches and two decrease stitches, the marker doesn’t move out of place.

3.12.13 - Even casting on 14 extra stitches this is going to be a little narrower than I wanted. Maybe 27 inches? I should’ve cast on 128 but I was worried about running out of yarn. I only have one stripe left to do but can’t seem to get it done. Harper is already a month old -- I need to get on it!

3.21.13 - Done! It ended up being 26” x 31”. I’m usually a loose knitter but even casting on an extra 14 stitches only got it to 26 inches wide, which is what it was supposed to be anyway. Next time I’ll cast on 128. It’s a great pattern. I also really like the Kraemer Perfection yarn. I’ll definitely use it again. It came out of the dryer so soft and cuddly.
