Blanket update

And the epic blanket continues.  At this rate, O is only going to get 1 blanket and some booties.  Although I really shouldn't say that.  Technically, I am half way done.  It's the small half, but it's half.

I think I should have run a couple rows of green between the purple and green, but it's a bit late now.

Current counts:
28 stitches to the section, 280 stitches total
16 inches diameter
On my (sole) 40 inch needle in hopes that I'll continue to have room on it until the 60 inch I ordered comes in.  Scrunching stitches as tightly as possible I can fit about 14 stitches to the inch, so I might be able to fit this all on a single 60 inch.  I hope so.  
I've about 4 more rows of green before I switch colors.  I'm trying to decide if I want to do a large row of blue and a short row of purple, or keep with the established pattern.

In other news, still working up plans for Yule/Christmas presents.  Everyone is getting fudge and nuts like normal, but I'm trying to decide if I can learn how to knit buttonholes in time to churn out a couple of small presents for important peeps.  Given the complete failure at socks last night, I don't have a whole lot of hope, but things are possible.  I'll fuss with it later this week.  It's not like my folks aren't terribly used to me sitting in the living room muttering over my crafting while watching tv.
