I thought I might be insane in starting this project:
Fingering weight yarn + US 2 needles + Blanket = INSANITY!
But look at how cool it is!!!
This is 1 skein of
Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn in the Seaside colorway. Right now it measures 16 inches in diameter. I'm aiming for 36 inches, I think. I started with 5 stitches, and I'm up to 400. Now I have to think about how I would like to finish it with the edging. A picot edge? A ruffled edge? A garter stitch edge? A crocheted scallop edge?
I don't know who this is for yet. The yarn just spoke to me. It said, I need more than socks! I need to be displayed proudly and boldly. Show all my colors! There are plently of pregnant ladies around me. I am sure it will find a home. (Or maybe I'll keep it for that someday for myself!)
Ech...now to get it back on the needles!
