Apparently I only give you progress updates on the sock yarn blanket once a year. Last August I reported that I had decided to make it twice as wide. Since I started knitting this in 2009 I figured it might take me another decade to get it all evened up.
It's not even yet, but I've made some really good progress.
One of the things I did was untangle all the LOSY yarn and group it in zip lock bags. This made it much easier to see what I had, and to stop constantly icing up blue balls. It turns out I have a lot of left over blue sock yarn, and not very much brown, red or yellow. I decided to take some of my left overs, and overdye them with various shades, to get new colours:
Before:
After:
I thought they would be more brown and less yellow, but it's all grist for the blanket mill. If I focussed I could get the blanket even by the end of the month. Since I don't particularly want to finish this project, I'll just keep picking away at it, a couple of squares a month. I'm sure I'll be back with an update once I get the two sides even ... in a year or so.
