My Mighty Rainbow Blanket is officially 80% done!
I managed to squeeze in two blue stripes since my last update. I finished the Gulfstream and the Celestial. I’m just about to start the first purple stripe called Eggplant.
This has been my main project these past few weeks. I’m really really hoping to get this done very soon. Only two skeins to go!
Happy Knitting!!
Happy Wednesday all!
I’ve managed to add another stripe to the mighty rainbow blanket!
The first blue (sky) is done and I started the second (Gulf Stream). I won’t bore you with the zen of garter stitch. Instead I’ll just let you ogle the rainbowy goodness!
Happy Knitting!!
I’m officially half way done with my Mighty Rainbow Blanket!
I finished the Macaw (dark green) and started the Sky (light blue). I have to admit to feeling a little bit of momentum building on this project. I think partially because I’m closer to done than starting. But also because I’m into the cooler colors that I seem to favor over the warm tones.
I have set this insane arbitrary goal of having this done by December 31st. With an even crazier thought of trying to have this done by Christmas…I have to be nuts!
Happy Knitting!
I’ve conquered another color on my mighty rainbow blanket!
This new green color is called Macaw and it’s just so rich and bright! I usually hate blankets but I’m finding this one very meditative. When I finish this stripe I will be halfway done. I also keep looking in my project bag and peaking at the upcoming colors in delight. Still to come are rich blues and vibrant purples, be still my heart!
Happy Knitting!!
Just a quick project to update you on my Might Rainbow Blanket! I’m sooooooo close to finishing the first green section.
8 more garter ridges and I can move on to dark green! Must keep knitting!!
My Mighty Rainbow Blanket has made some progress!
I did some conference call knitting on it last week and powered through the last of the yellow stripe. I now know I need 18 garter ridges on the right side of the work to make each color section match.
I’m just starting the green!!!
Happy Knitting!!
I’ve finished the second stripe on my Mighty Rainbow Blanket!
I was like four or five rows short of finishing this orange color and it took me all of my tonsillectomy recovery time to get those rows done. The Hiya Hiya wooden needles are MUCH better than the plastic interchangeables I started with. I feel like I will be able to work much faster now that I don’t have to be so careful.
Next up….yellow!!
I’ve made some progress on my Mighty Rainbow Blanket. I’m almost through the second skein, orange.
But my old faithful Denise interchangeables just can’t keep up as this blanket gets heavier and heavier. The cable joins just keeping coming unsnapped and I’m too much in pain and foggy to deal with picked up stitches. So I had the hubby run out and picked up some Hiya Hiya wooden 29 inch circ. He’s a good husband!
Happy Knitting!!
And so it begins…
I’ve cast on the and worked two rows of the first rainbow color. The yarn is very soft. I’m finding that the metal knit picks interchangeable needles I chose are not well suited for this. I need to dig through my needle stash to find other size 9 options before I continue.
I’ve for both plans to finish this for blitz points for the 2016 Down Cellar Studio Pigskin Party KAL. Fingers crossed anyway! It’s only 30 garter rows per color. Never mind the 240 stitches ☺️
Happy Knitting!!
I talked about my memory sock blanket on Monday. I may be a bit obsessed…this was my project on Wednesday.
That’s four squares (and a DVR college softball game).
Here is where I am today….
I’m nine squares in and thoroughly addicted. I’m trying not to plan my colors too much. I even let my hubby pick a couple of squares. He didn’t find it as exciting as I did, lol. I can’t seem to find the mojo to work on anything ends…
