waffle blanket!...maybe

hello readers,

im attempting another blanket, if you have noticed i have not posted any updates on the heart blanket i was working on....i decided to scrap it after not working on it for some time and then my needles had slipped out of it when it was moved and i didnt notice. i was unable to save it after the slip and i was a decent way into it i decided to unravel and not do a blanket for a while.

I had saved a nice pattern on ravelry that i was really interested in doing. it was a neat pattern that incorporated dropped yarn overs, i was a bit confused at this process so i didnt dare attempt it. but lately i have gotten more and more interested in it that i was watching youtube videos on how to do it that i am now more confidant than ever, and im just going to jump in and give it a shot. im going to try my best to stick this blanket all the way through, if i do this will be my first completed blanket project!

So, a little about the pattern, its called the waffle blanket by alexis layton (her ravelry username is alexislayton) her patterns are free to use for personal use. she has a few others on ravelry that are interesting that i wouldn't mind trying but i have to get threw this blanket one first! i'm using a us size 8 circular needle as suggested per her pattern and i'm using redheart in pale yellow as my color, i got a couple super saver skeins in that color on clearance at walmart for half off so i couldn't pass it up. all i have gotten done on it so far is the cast on of 158, ill keep you updated on my progress as often as i can, i got 2 classes left in my hunter safety class and im also looking for a new job sense my current one has become overwhelming in many different ways, im looking to probably go back in to plain old retail for a while until an opportunity i have been waiting for comes available.

Until Next Post
