We Will Finish No Project Before Its Time

Last March, I started a blanket for myself out of Bernat Blanket.    The yarn was so appealing...so soft...so like velvet chenille without the heinous qualities that make me never, never again use it.

For this blanket, I had a general idea of what I wanted.   I looked at a lot of different blankets and

blanket patterns.   As the variegated greens and reds of the yarn are a design element, I wanted to use a very plain stitch pattern.  I settled on a 13 x 13 rib.   Using a knit on cast on, I put 91 stitches on a size 13 and got to it.

Last spring, I put this down to work on other things.    Last weekend, its time had come.  I bound off last night.  This will be a lovely, cuddly cover-up for this winter.

The colors did pool as I knit this, but I am not terribly bothered by that.

One of the bonuses of this yarn is that is launders well. 

Originally, I bought 7 or 8 skeins.  I believe I used 4.5 of that total.  There is enough left to make a smaller blanket...eventually.
