An antique of a UFO unearthed in the dig, started before I’d ever even heard of Kaffe Fassett, that’s how old it is.

For cabling, it’s kind of…plain.

I slid it halfway off the needle to get an idea of how wide it was in real life. 48″unstretched. I remembered it only vaguely: I had stopped because it was using up yarn faster than newbie me had anticipated and what I’d wanted, it could never be. There were a few skeins tucked away with it.

Whichever baby missed out on a blankie probably has a kid in high school of their own by now.

It was fascinating listening to my daughter instantly knowing who it had to be for and how I could finish it off so as to be usable for them. It was washable wool, it was soft enough, you know she’ll love that you made it, do it, Mom!.

How then could I not?
