After not touching the blanket for over a year, i frogged it. I then cast on well, I’m honestly not sure how many stitches as I did stitch maths on an ephemeral post-it that’s now been lost (oops). It’s somewhere about 32-24 inches in width. I’m working a slipped stitch rib of sorts and it’s going much faster, this is after only a few evening TV knit sessions.
Three things make this a good blanket project:
- I don’t have to read a pattern to figure out what I’m knitting, I can easily read my knitting.
- It’s a reversible stitch pattern.
- The stitch pattern is interesting enough I don’t think I’ll get bored in another few rows.
I am happy to have a mindless yet productive knit project again.
As Am Yisrael Chai has basically disbanded at this point, I’m not sure how this blanket will get to Israel, so I will likely donate it to my Sisterhood’s blanket project, we knit and crochet blankets for children undergoing long term medical treatment at local facilities as well as local underprivileged infants and toddlers.
