The Pillowghan is done...and on to the next!

The pillowghan is done and now peacefully co-existing on the couch with Dolly.

When I was working on the blanket part of the pillowghan, I measured the work against my body.   When the blanket reached the point at which, when draped over my feet, it reached my chest, I thought I was done.  Okay...so arithmetic failed me.  I thought I was at 53".  No.  I was at 46".  Did I measure it before I bound off and started the edging?  HA HA HA HA! Fortunately, the blanket works for me.  While I ended up liking this project, it is hard to fold, keep folded, and keep looking tidy.  Fortunately, that is not a problem for me.

Craftsy came out with a very nice new acrylic yarn, Sprightly.   I bought the super bulky version, at a very good price, because one of the colors as seen on the screen would look splendid in the new apartment of a friend of mine.  The color, Carribean, looked perfect.  Out of the box, it was darker than I wanted the color to be.   Out of the skein, it looks a little better.  The yarn is nice, though a little splitty.  

Fifty Four Ten Studio has to be my favorite designer of throws and blankets.   For the Sprightly, I am Boulevard Blanket pattern.  Having learned my swatching lesson with the Yak Hat, I did several swatches before I had the fabric that I wanted for this project.   It is moving along nicely and I am enjoying the ride.

I bought ten or twelve skeins and will make this a nice length for wrapping up and resting.

The Sparkle Socks are nearly done...may even finish them today.

Next...a pair of sparkly Raggi socks for a gift for a friend who will visit next month.

So much knitting, so little time!
