scrap yarn knit blanket

Last year, while I was knitting my 29 blankets, I knitted one extra (I think it was number 19). I didn't have enough of two yarns colors at the house and I was wanting to knit so I just started adding scrap yarn together. Of course, then I ran out of scrap yarn and had to go buy more to actually finish this blanket.

Originally, I thought I'd sell it as one of the 29 but then realized that would be so random. 28 striped blankets and then this one! This random one! #odd.

So I kept it aside and powered through the remaining blankets. And then sold them in November.

This one is still special to me though. I love the look. I love the warm color palette. I love the crazy changing yarns.

Like all the blankets, this was knit with simple back-and-forth garter stitch on size 15 needles. (I did 60 stitches per row if you want to make your own.)

    I’ve been reading since you were pregnant. My favorite was the story of the shoe. It made me smile and tear up. I have a pair of reefs that went on my first and second dates with my husband in 1998. I still wear them every now and then and that post made me think about my flip flops and how far we’ve come. Happy 2015!

    I have been reading your blog for a year and a half now, but I’ve combed through most of the archives too. I particularly like your book reports, and I love your posts on your processes in making, in life, and in business.
