I've completed the first stripe of the blanket using Caron Simply Soft yarn in Grey Heather. I ended up using about 80% of the skein as it was getting larger than I anticipated. The stripe is 38"x8". Here's how it turned out.
Now I'm working on the second stripe in Country Blue. I started this stripe on the same end as I started the first (i.e. tails on the same side) and again, I'll use the entire skein. Here's how it looks so far. More to follow!
Can't wait till we get to use this for its actual purpose.
