I didn’t bother to swatch so nobody knows. Logic is that it should grow a little upon washing, because of the applied icord border I’m not anticipating significant growth. However, I’m still not yet at the magic number of 36.
It seems that these last few inches before I switch to decreasing are taking forever. Since each row adds two stitches and I’m knitting about 50 inches and no I’m not about to count my stitches.
Yesterday I took the blanket for a short road trip to one of my favourite places (Ikea). I came home with two new ways to store yarn (storage foot stools).
At 9:40pm on Monday May 5th, I’m now at about 34 inches. Closer!
