Notes

Finished size: 43” Diameter, with no heavy blocking.

Started in July. August got very hot. Down to the wire on 9/10 for the shower on 9/11.

Binding off on white and then adding a purple crochet border - 700 stitches bound off in knit. Increased slightly to 720 for the border in order to have the right stitch count for a shell border.

Crochet border: 2 rounds of single crochet, one row of shell stitch.

Notes: I did not use all of every skein listed, but I broke into every one to avoid weaving more ends in at the last few rows. :)

The dark colors bled out in the wash and I needed to rinse and rinse to get it all out. This affected the brightness of the white. I doubt I’ll use white with such dark colors again, even though that really made it sharp while knitting. The white is a bit dimmed in the washing.

The yarn, however, softened and relaxed greatly making for a snuggly, soft blanket and non-rolling edges!
