One Block At A Time

Every year the ESK Yarnathon has both quarterly KAL's as well as a year long KAL (and random Flash KAL's too).  The year long KAL has been a blanket for as far back as I can remember, but I think the only one I participated in was the Carson throw back in 2016.  This year they're doing a Choose Your Own Adventure Stitch Sampler and I've decided to jump in with this one and make Caleb a blanket.  He loves blankets and takes care of them, so I showed him a couple of patterns and the ESK page of Cascade 220 Superwash and let him pick!

He chose the Sherlock's Great Afghan Adventure, Mystery KAL pattern (it's not a mystery anymore, it's a regular pattern with photos) and Cascade 220 Superwash in color 904, Colonial Blue Heather.

There are 12 blocks in this blanket, plus a border.  I might change to a crochet border to finish it at the end, just to add some stability, but I don't have to make any decisions yet.  I have until Christmas Day to get it finished for the KAL, but I'm trying to get it done faster than that.

I made two blocks in January and I've started the third block.  The first two are blocked (they blocked to 15 inches square), but the third is still in progress at the moment.
