While waiting actual usable measurments to start knitting a commissioned project, and with the completion of the Sweet Pea Cardigan, I found myself in need of some fairly brainless knitting. So, I debated between a couple projects and ended up choosing to start a new baby project: the Spiral Gray Blankie.
The color is a sort of cadet bluish gray. The yarn isn't wool, but is washable and extremely soft. It is center out, but with a neat spiral design. And now that the pattern is established, it is fairly intuitive.
I have strings on the markers to help keep them from falling off, but I like the spiral that has started. Can you see it? It continues until, at the end, there is a picot bind off border.
And I still can continue on the last sleeve of my red cardigan. I am almost done with the second sleeve increases, and will soon be able to start the top shaping. After that it is a matter of blocking, and sewing, and then the front and neck bands.
And when that is finished, it will be my 20th finished project for 2014. Whooo Hoo!
