I'm not a big "April Fools" kind of person so there will be none of those "shenanigans" here today. Just straight up progress to report!
Firstly, April's hat is finished-I thought it best to get ahead on it, since I want to devote this month to the new blanket!
Secondly, I spent the week happily knitting a little on the stripey stocking knit stitch blanket and was quite content!
I added 6 color bands to the project and it now sits at 21 inches. Here's the dilema- I'm almost entirely out of the dark blue color, and am periously close to running out of the light purple. I have another light purple that I could sub in, without much change, but the only darker blue I have is significantly different. How badly are the different colors going to bother me? I like being able to continue to stash down what's in the blanket- but I don't want to make it look awful either. GAH- there's so much to worry about. (And no, I will not buy a new skein to make up the issue- the point is to STASH DOWN. The only exception to the rule will be more yellow- b/c once I run out of yellow- I'll need to keep that cohesive.) I guess I won't worry about it for now, because this blanket goes back into the waiting spot while I begin anew.
I wound the balls for the Stampede mystery project today. Such perfectly springy colors to knit with for spring!
Know what it is yet? Hopefully it will start taking shape soon- I'm going to cast on as soon as this post is up! I'm really excited!
