Progress is being made on the baby blanket. In between random searches on Ravelry for ideas for the outer edging (seed stitch? cable? simple ridging?) and other baby related items. Found an couple of different ideas for onesies, but I might also purchase blank ones and commit art upon them.
Oh! Nifty idea. Must speak to coworker who speaks japanese. Also, check the veracity of google translate.
Anyway, Blanket is booking along. I moved it to my 30 inch circular late last night and it's gone from being a stretch to actually knit it to being comfortable. I've about 2 more rows of the purple to do before switching over to the blue for about an inch. I think I'm going to do seed stitch for those (6) rows, as it's relatively easy to do.
Current color layout:
16 rows green (Garter stitch)
16 rows purple (garter)
6 rows blue (seed)
Current counts:
15 stitches to the section
150 stitches on needles
Per the nifty calculater I found, I'm currently at a 27 inch circumferance, which seems small. Which means I might be making this bigger than originally planned. *pause to do math* Yeah, Circumferance of 38 means a radius of just over 6 inches. NOT BIG ENOUGH. Radius of 19 gives a diameter of 38 though... which I think was the original plan anyway. Hrm *does more math* that means when I'm done, I'll have something like 60 stitches per section. I'm going to need bigger needles.
