IJK is a Superhero*
Gotta love the whimsey in this kid.
Pattern: Abby's Blanket
Yarn: Random balls of Karabella Aurora 6 and Auora 8 from my stash
Needles: US 9
Finished Measurements: 40x40"
Notes: I worked this version at a larger gauge and switched colors every 8 rounds. The last few color bands took 60-70 grams per color. Every other band took less than one 50 gram skein from the stash.
*She has once again achieved grades that boggle my mind in very demaing classes. I am a proud mama.
It reminds me of an afghan my nana knit for me when I was a kid. She used a feather and fan stitch and all her leftovers from hats and mittens. It was colorful and I adored it.

The flying shot is one of my most favorite knit photos ever. Love the blanket, too. Yay for you & IJK!

I spy a super-hero, or a really sweet looking blankie!!
Man, seems as if all the other good knit bloggers are taking the summer off!
I depreciate yours so much!
