The latest magic blanket......

 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?
