going bold
For some time, I had been conflicted about what to do with my Easter egg palette of Sheep Shop Sheep One. Sweaters for children would be a good option, but honestly, I want to knit this stuff quickly, as this acquisition broke Stash Restraint 2007. How about a blanket in garter stitch?
Thanks, Rebecca, for pointing out that the yarn did not necessarily have to be worn.

Mmm...pretty! I admire people that can not only combine colors that many colors well, but are willing to weave in that many ends.

That looks amazing. Now, who's going to sew all those things together?

The blanket looks amazing! Bright and squishy.

it's nice, but it'll never work. they're not sewn together. they'll just slide off. oooor... you have made blankets for hamster barracks!
