After taking these shots, I was at a cross roads. Do I try and crank out the throw size over the weekend so I can have consistent pictures for the final written pattern, or do I dejectedly say to myself “well, it would have been nice if the throw size had been ready to take pictures in time.” The decision was easy to make. It was time to kick into high gear and crank out a throw sized blanket!! But shoot! Did I bring enough yarn with me??
I’m often guilty of finishing new designs, taking pictures for the pattern, and then unraveling the entire thing to reuse the yarn for something else. This was no special case, so I enlisted the help of my husband and two young boys to unravel and rewind the baby blanket yarn, so I could use it for the throw. The yarn gods smiled down on me that weekend, and I somehow managed to have just enough yarn to complete the larger sized blanket. Phew!
