89 days of knitting

I did not make my goal. I don't like not making my goals.

But I do like this baby blanket.

I only have 689,245 stitches left before I can begin the 17 day bind off it will require.  That's because I'm knitting a ruffle around the edge, and with every round, you have to increase the number of stitches considerably to make it look, well, ruffly. And the ruffle has to be large enough to ruffle.

So that's where I am. Mid ruffle. 

I love how this colorway knit up. It's Autumnal Splendor from Yarn Love. When I'm done with it, I'll post the formula for how to make your own baby blanket that requires a 17-day bind off.

Or you could just knit it with bulky weight yarn, in which case your estimated bind off time is approximately 90 minutes.

It's about 28" across right now. When I'm done ruffling my brains out, it'll be closer to 34".

I'm sure Shamrock will love this blanket all the more knowing how many stitches I knit. She will never spit up on it, drag it on the ground, or allow either of the horsedogs to come near it.

She is Super Shamrock, able to ward off approaching horsedogs with a single glance!

This blanket needs a name, what should I call it?

I know it seems crazy, but these can be the best types of projects . . . especially when you are making something for your own family. Have fun!
