I finished this block up back on April 8, and then it took two days to dry when I blocked it. I block these right side down, as I find it easier to pin out, given the curly edges due to the stockinette stitch, so I get a nice reveal when I unpin it. This one blocked easily to 12 inches (unlike the first January block that I knit that I had to block aggressively to get it to 12 inches). I’m getting better at the purling two handed colorwork thing, and I think my tension control is improving. I have cast on the second February block as well. I do enjoy knitting these, but they take a fair bit of concentration, so definitely not TV knitting, unless it is something that I can just listen to.
The colors for February are: Mulberry Jam and Lilac
Pattern: Fleece and Harmony Mystery Blanket 2024
Yarn: Fleece and Harmony Selkirk Worsted
Needle: US 4 (3.5 mm)
