Row Five

 

Another row is finished on the blanket.  It’s definitely wider now and Max can get mostly underneath it as long as he curls up tightly and doesn’t move.  I’m weaving in the ends on this row now, before I start the next.

I know that you can weave in ends in crochet as you go (by crocheting the tails into the next round or row), but this pattern doesn’t seem to give me a chance to get them woven in really well.  At least I don’t feel like I can get them secured.  That could also be because I caught Max trying to disembowel the blanket-in-progress, so I feel like things should be tucked in really well.  I did crochet the ends in as I went on Caleb’s blanket and it worked well, but he uses it as a blanket, not as prey.
