Wool Leaves as a Wedding Present

Jared Flood's Wool Leaves pattern is a lovely, lovely pattern.   My first go at it was for Lucia

Rocksusto's blanket.   That was an audition for the pattern for my nephew Eddie and his fiancee Megan's wedding present.   The wedding present had to be sized up.    My first try was going along nicely.  I stopped to take a picture.   The blanket looked a bit narrow.  It was.   It was fourteen inches narrower than I wanted it to be.    Oh well!   Now I am back on track and using my time off to make some good progress.   Dolly liked checking the blanket out but feels that the knitting of the blanket rudely interferes with the time she should be being held.

Over the next few days, I hope to make quite a bit of progress.   The pattern looks complicated, but really isn't.    It moves along quickly and I have hopes of finishing the project before I get sick of doing it.

Burrow Bulky is becoming one of my favorite yarn for blankets.   The yarn washes up beautifully and can go into the dryer.  The price point is attractive and the colors are glorious.    I have a secret stash of it already.
