Yay! The first panel is finally done!! I've had to change some things to make it work (Yeah, I know, I should always swatch...but meh, I'll learn eventually!)
So, now, each panel will have 9 cable repeats, and I'm guessing that there will be about 6-7 panels, if not more. Fun. Not.

Sarah's Blanket - Progress!!
Sarah's Blanket
Pattern: Lion Brand's Cable Comfort Throw
Yarn: Bernat Chunky
Colourway: True Denim (it's actually more of a medium blue)
Needles: US13 Bamboo
Made For: Sarah's Birthday/Christmas
Progress: 3 repeats past what is shown - on first panel of 5
Comments: This is such a boring knit. Seriously. It could put me to sleep - not going as fast as I'd like it to, but meh - what can I do? I'm learning from this that I absolutely do NOT enjoy knitting on huge needles....
Tuscany
Pattern Name: Tuscany
Source: No Sheep For You
Yarn: Elann Sonata
Colourway: Victorian Grape
Needles: US 6 Brittanys to start, switching to US6 Clover Takumi Circs as soon at they arrive
Being Made for: Mother-in-Law's Christmas Gift
Progress: Mid way through the 3rd set of pattern reps. (further than what the photo shows). I might be able to finish the current set of repeats before switching to the circs is mandatory.
Comments: So far, this is a pretty simple knit - one that I can usually manage to work on even when hubby isn't home to help with the kids. I'm pretty happy with the progress so far - the one semi-problem I have with it is that the YOs on one edge show up more than the ones on the other :/
