Ta-da. My first finished project for this blog.
This is an adaption from a blanket from Kristin Spurkland's book Knits from the Heart. It is knit in strips and then sewn together. I increased the number stitches per strip because I wanted a bigger blanket, and I reorganized the color scheme of the blocks.
I used Caron Simply Soft yarn which is one of my favorite economy yarns. It's about $2.50 per skein at Joann's or Michael's. Here in Portland, I find that Michael's has a better color selection than Jo-ann's. I've made several blankets using this yarn. To totally complete this blanket I bought some cute flannel to use as backing. I still need to sew it on.
