Because the yarn is dark, it’s a little hard to see the footprints, but they’re more apparent in actual.

Notes

Very excited about this pattern.
The dino-baby footprints are very cute.
Love how the simple knit / purl stitch changes affect the shading.

Ordered this gray from some site called Office Supply, for goodness sake. The price was less than all the others. Go figure.

Big problem #1
Believe it or not, I cast on 30 stitches too many.
I didn’t discover this until row 50.
Fortunately, I have enough yarn to proceed.
Need to adjust some footprint placements.

Big problem #2
I have this yarn in dark indigo and dark gray.
The blue is for another project.
Of course, I started this blanket in the blue instead of the gray. Got ~ 1/3 thru before I noticed.
Sooooo, start over.
Casted on the correct number of stitches.

All done!
Love it!
