Comments: I decided to try something new and I really like this pattern. It's a slip stitch pattern so you're only knitting with one color at a time, rather than both like Fairisle. 

It was easily memorized and fun to knit. The pattern itself is fairly well written. I made a change by using the same color order throughout the whole thing.

I learned some new things while working on this project. I like it when I learn something new. 

I love how the variegated yarn pooled.

Comments: I had a really hard time photographing this blanket. For some reason the pics all came out really dark. I did some editing to lighten them up. 

I like this edging a lot. It's easy to do and very decorative.

Now, on to the next one. Already cast on.

Live long and prosper. \\//
