The afghan is coming along quite nicely. At the moment I am probably a little over 2/3 done with the first panel. I’m noticing that in the lovely spring weather we’ve been having for the past couple of days, it’s a little too warm to be knitting wool blankets. But in the evenings it’s nice and cozy, so I’m still making a lot of progress.
I have decided to make two panels of this kind and a different center-panel with more braids. What it will look like exactly is not clear yet. I have also decided to create some kind of edging for the top and bottom.
I have purchased 20 balls of yarn. That should be enough for the whole blanket.
Anyways, so far I’m pleased with the result and will continue working busily. Hockey playoffs should give me lots of evening knitting time. At least for as long as the Senators are playing. At the moment we are guaranteed another round.
