Yesterday I put the most recent Magic Blanket through the laundry.
This version was done on 6 mm (US 10) needles. I used the usual 90 stitches with the 10 x 10 stitch rib repeat.This version used only two of the five balls that I had purchased.
I really liked the fabric this time and will probably start my swatching process for for future blankets with this size needle. The post-laundry drape was still what I wanted. It is all good.
Do I swatch every time I do one of these blankets? Yes. Yes I do.
Why?
I want to make sure that I am getting the drape that will give the blanket its magic.....Emily calls it a hug. She also says that her blanket is so special that she does not put snot on it. What praise could be higher?
