It’s winter. There are seven inches of snow on the ground. I’m recuperating from ear surgery. What other reasons do I need to sit and knit?!
I found this delightful blanket pattern on Etsy a couple of years ago and purchased it. I followed her suggestions for the yarn colors (I really like what she did!) and ordered the requisite number of each color. I ordered the necessary circular knitting needle. Then life got in the way and I got sidetracked.

Recently, I found this little wooden container for the yarn. I mean, I’m ready to knit. So I need to go back to the instructions and refresh my memory. I have knitting books – plenty of them. There are always tutorials on YouTube from much more experienced knitters than I am. I can knit and purl. I’ll have to look up the other stitches to remember them. This looks like an easy enough pattern with good instructions, so I need to cast on 105 stitches for the throw blanket size (52” x 57”) and get started!
One hundred and five?!
