Stash-busting light-speed blanket

Cascading Colors Baby Blanket
Husband's coworkers in Florida had a baby two weeks ago, and I'm still plugging away on the kilt hose. Enter Cascading Colors Baby Blankie on the Lion Brand website. Two colors of yarn held together on size 15 needles. Finished in 8 hours total! Best of all, completely knit from stash, no purchase necessary. Woot!

Of course, I had to change it. The size 17 needles called for made really big holes since I wasn't using the fuzzy Lion Brand Jiffy called for, so dropped to size 15 needles and cast on 10 extra stitches. Almost wish I'd done another half repeat. Also added 3 rows of seed stitch at beginning and end, and two seed stitches along the size to tame curling.
