two different blankets to try.  one is a 3 color shift, and each block of 9 squares will rotate to give it a more abstract feel.<br \/>\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"

flow better.  it was really hard to find the right orange as the laceweight yarns weren&#8217;t quite the right hue and the one that was perfect only came in heavier weight.  unfortunately it turned out to be a yarn that was impossible to separate into single plies, without the yarn calling apart :sigh  so i am doing it with an orange yarn that is just ok (especially since i&#8217;m not a fan of orange to begin with)  but i think it works well enough, and the progression really needed an orange to smooth out the gradation between yellow and the peachy pink<\/p>\n<p>it&#8217;s a very addicting knit, since the squares go fairly quickly and it&#8217;s it keeps changing so there is always something new to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>every year i say i&#8217;m not
