The Different Every Time Blanket

I did promise some finished product shots of the latest version of the stockinette squares  no-sew blanket.  The ‘tie dye’ knit up wonderfully.  The recipient was thrilled.  When I told her how I had tie-dyed the yarn in her honor, she got a little teary-eyed and said ” So this may be our last tie dye together…”

I didn’t have much time for a photo shoot, so a couple of the pictures are blurry, but here it is in all its parti-colored glory.

The sharp-eyed among you may have noticed that the inner squares are all different sizes.  Yes, this was done on purpose.  When blanket girl was little,  she received a pop up tent for indoor play.  When baby sitting, I noticed she was trying to crawl into it with it upside down.   I told her she might break it,  and she cried mournfully — “But I want it to be different every time!”  That pretty much sums up her approach to much in life.  (ENFPs unite.)  So, this  is the Different Every Time blanket.

I wish I had started sooner and made it one strip larger, but I suppose I could make one and add it on. It will be a good size for wrapping up while studying. She looks happy enough, anyway.

How did I know they were the right colors?  Check out the shoes.
