With the last blanket being finished it means that I have 24 out of 100 projects finished for 2021. At this point I really wish that I had made a sizable dent in my yarn stash, but alas the answer is a solid no, not yet. So the 3 blankets used about 27 balls of yarn. With about another 10 blankets to go that another 90 skeins. So with 13 blankets it will only use about 127 skeins. With another 14 skeins of yarn for the hats that brings it to 141 and I think it was 10 for the shawl 151 skeins used this year. I was really hoping for a much bigger dent in volume of yarn around the house. I thought I would have at least one empty yarn tub by now. Sigh..
Have you noticed that the estimate of blankets left to knit keeps going up to? With all that said here is blanket number 3. By the way with the 1st box of blankets almost full, with a lot more to knit, John graciously agreed to help deliver them. I added a prayer shawl that I knit and a couple of blankets someone gave for me to donate to a good cause.
In case you were wondering the pattern is one of mine called Modular Baby Blanket. You can get the pattern at you local yarn store, www.ravelry.com and www.love crafts.com. It will be under Sheri Karobonik Designs. It’s a great stash buster project because each square can be a different color. So far I have only knit this in cotton, although other worsted weight yarn will work also. Just remember if you start with cotton all the yarn must be cotton. If you knit with wool all the yarn must be wool. This would also apply to man made fibers too.
