05/26/2010 - Swatching. After washing warm / drying hot, swatch shrank by about 7% both vertically and horizontally, but it can be blocked back to original size.

CO 199 st (25 pattern repeats x 7 sts + 12 st edges). Using US5 needles; 6 or 7 would have been closer to the loose gauge in the pattern, but I want the blanket to have a little more body.
