Still chugging along...


The Adeline Blanket is stilll chugging along.  I have added several more rounds to it.  I feel like I am making slow progress though.  Completing each round now takes around two hours and I then I weave in the ends before moving on to the new color.  It is surprisingly warm though!  I'm glad that I am attemping to finish this during the winter months.

When it is completed, I am hoping that it will be large enough to use as an adult size lap blanket - big enough to curl up with on the couch.  I'll be washing it and blocking it out as well, so it might grow a bit more during that process.

I have yet to decide what the border on it will look like.  Of all the colors, I have the most remaining of the silver (a whole extra skein to be exact).  Right now, I'm leaning towards a simple scalloped edge on it - using the extra silver color.  I thought about leaving it without a border - just having the last round be the end - but now I wonder if that would be too simple or too unfinished. 

Thoughts?
