Notes

Instead of a square, this blanket is a golden rectangle with ratio 1.6. Ten stitches and sixteen ridges.

The first skein produced an almost complete 15x12”.

It turns out that starting with a rectangle doesn’t change the shape of the blanket from square to rectangle, because the edge growth function is linear. If I really want a rectangle, I should graft two squares. Next time!

The blanket did not need an edging, but I added a little crochet scallop trim, which looks really nice.

I will miss working on this blanket.

More than two miles of yarn used!

Extra thanks to the Bourbon Cafe (Cambridge, MA) Tuesday Night knitters, who gave me much fine encouragement and said such nice things.
