August 6

Finished with time to spare; this knits up surprisingly quickly and didn’t get tedious. I noticed, on the 12th square that I had accidentally omitted the K1 on the purl rows of edging. A result of not reading the pattern closely enough. A big oops. However, in my opinion, when you have twelve squares finished you might as well continue on with the oopsy and pretend it was on purpose. I think the edges of blanket would be slightly more square if I hadn’t forgotten this.

Love these colours. I do like how this turned out, but perhaps with colours that are so similar it would have been better to do solid blocks instead of natural edging. I guess that just means I’ll have to knit this blanket up again.

Used about half of my half skeins and all of my two natural skeins (only a few feet left after seaming). I could have done more blocks, but I am too impatient to wait for another skein of natural to arrive.

I have only good things to say about both this yarn and the pattern; highly recommend both.
