I brought the Squishy Blanket home this weekend and knit on it most of the break. I only put it aside last night because I ran out of the navy blue two rows before the cast off on the final side. (I was only a little disappointed, because I knew I had more navy blue at school and could get to it today.) I knitted on the blanket and watched Mythbusters and Big Bang Theory and the first two Harry Potter movies and Monster House. And now I am back at school and still not tired of the giant rainbow.
Last night, when I ran out of navy yarn, I started the next square for the blanket. I’m thinking I may only need three squares. The first one, which only needs the purple section put on now, is big enough to comfortably cover my lap. With the purple section, it will go a bit further on each side. Adding two more squares will probably make the entire blanket as tall as I am, which is what I want. If I need to, and if I feel up to it when I’m done with three giant squares, I will add a border. I want this thing to cover me pretty completely. I think it’ll do that just fine.
