Thick books and intense knitting projects don’t intimidate me but knitting a blanket with tiny little stitches is a little nutty. This is the Purl Soho Embossed Triangles Blanket. I’m about 2/3 done at this point. I keep putting it down for a week or month before picking it back up, drawing out the whole thing. To makes this worse (or better!) I keep feeling like when it’s done, I might embroider some simple Scandinavian style geometric botanical stuff on there. Or is the simplicity better? My mother-in-law saw what I was knitting, and she said something like “you are making heirlooms that people will actually want.” What a nice compliment!
