The math: at 4 stitches to the inch, I could make a 4-foot by 4-foot blanket with approximately 200 stitches. Instead, I skipped the math and simply thought 400 was a good number. So, I am knitting 400 rows of 400 stitches each.
Really, Mindy? This is the blanket so far.
...after 120 rows
...over 30 hours
...and 48,000 stitches.
It's 9-feet, without even being stretched out.
No more shortcuts!

Are you sure that is for the baby, and not your brother? Maybe you could steek it, spin it and sew it? The camo effect is v cool though!
oh. my. god. It's huge!
Hi there,
I just came across your blog (I'm a huge Emily Giffin fan too), and was wondering if you had a moment and wouldn't mind checking out my website at www.sarahpekkanen.com I'd love to hear what you think. I'm a brand-new author who just signed a publishing contract with the same house as Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Weiner.
If you like my website, I'd love it if you'd sign up for my private monthly email list in the box on my homepage. That way, I can send you my first chapter when it's through the editing process to see what you think (I love to get reader's opinions, not just reviewers!)
Take care,
Sarah

Hey, Sarah! I'm excited to read your manuscript and am enjoying your monthly newsletters.
On the knitting front, I tried to seam it together and ended up stuffing it in a basket at the top of our spare bedroom closet. Frogged! Never to be seen again. I knit another one with chunkier yarn, which I'll give to them at Christmas. Perhaps I'll rip this out and use it to start an actual pattern! Duh!
