When I decided that I was going to knit Erica a wedding blanket, I said there were a few rules:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Finish Marissa’s wedding blanket first<\/li>\n
  2. Finish Tristan’s cARGHdigan first<\/li>\n
  3. Figure out the schedule for knitting, so I would know when I was slipping<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    On the other hand, just because I decided to wind some of the Cascade 220 hanks doesn’t mean I’m actually starting<\/em>, right?<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    As soon as I took that picture, I realized it looked slightly phallic, so I tried to fix it by reordering some of the blue…<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    And ended up with Yarn Leia instead.\u00a0 Apparently my talents lie elsewhere.<\/p>\n

    You might be asking – why are there eight of them?\u00a0 Well, I figured eight hanks would be a decent start.\u00a0 The pattern I’m using is knit with four balls (two of each color) at a time, so with eight hanks it’s like I have two sets of knitting.\u00a0 Not, you know, that I could actually use<\/em> two sets of knitting at once, but…well, if I could, I could<\/em>, if you know what I mean.<\/p>\n

    Speaking of sets, I then took four of them and put them in the bag from a sheet set – I love that it fits the yarn perfectly, has a pocket for the needle, and even zips closed.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    It’s like having my very own blanket kit!\u00a0 So exciting!\u00a0 I can’t wait to use it!<\/p>\n

    Not, mind you, that I’m allowed to yet.\u00a0 I still have miles to go on my other projects first…<\/p>\n

    …crap, I don’t know how long I’m going to be able to resist this.\u00a0 It’s new and shiny!\u00a0 Pretty please can I knit with the new shiny yarn?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
