I casted on 110 nice stitches (with stitch markers every 10, so I wouldn&#8217;t get lost counting them). The result was a 6 mm. needle (50 cm long, perhaps) totally crammed with stitches. A beautiful sight you can enjoy here:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sadevil.org\/gallery\/knitting\/CrammedNeedle01\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sadevil.org\/gallery\/albums\/knitting\/CrammedNeedle01.jpg\" alt=\"Crammed Needle\" width=\"75%\"  \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Then I took my (lovely, adorable, sweet, soft, delicious) Addi Bamboo in size 5 mm. and 100 cm. long, and started knitting away! Garter stitch is boring boring boring! Fifteen rows later, and nearly a 50 gr. skein gone, I start pondering if I bought enough yarn. So I asked my mother what should I do, and she suggested reducing the garter border (bless you!) and start with the double knitting section. Instead of the 7.5 cm. border it will be something around 5 or 6 cm. Since it will be a stroller blankie, the size is more than enough (seeing the strollers now&#8230;). Another pic, of the garter stitch border already on my circs:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sadevil.org\/gallery\/knitting\/Blankie01\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sadevil.org\/gallery\/albums\/knitting\/Blankie01.jpg\" alt=\"Blankie on circs\" width=\"75%\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>So at the moment I have doubled all the center stitches, and I have 200(!), and 180 of them are the double knit part: 90 in one colour, and 90 in the other. And I&#8217;ll continue along knitting having fun with the blankie tomorrow. I need a side project!<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t get any sewing done. I wasn&#8217;t feeling like it. I guess that&#8217;s the problem of not having a room dedicated to it, and having to clean the table, set up all, start sewing, then clean again and put all away&#8230; I hope I can get something else done soon&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sade<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I started the baby blanket this past weekend, after finishing the two previous projects.
