Stash-busting light-speed 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.

Still Alive

I'm still alive, just plugging away on a pair of kilt hose for a fellow piper. I ran out of yarn after buying up all the closeouts from SWAK in the City, now I'm buying the last 4 balls of it from Webbs. Hopefully I can come up with a heavier substitute should any more pipers want kilt hose, these size 0 needles are taking FOREVER! I would post a picture, but I didn't ask the pattern author's permission to sell items from her pattern because I really didn't intend to do this pattern, the recipient insisted on it. I am going to make up some swatches with a heavier yarn and different cables/patterns should this request come my way again.

I have lots of Christmas knitting and a baby blanket to do, hurry up hose!
