A New Blanket

I have started another blanket, but unlike the two I already have in progress, this one is knit.  Eat.Sleep.Knit brought back the long term Craft-A-Long blanket project again this year, and initially I wasn't going to participate (seeing as I already have two blankets going, even if I haven't touched either of them in a while), but then I realized that I already had the Nectar blanket pattern, and I was pretty sure I had most of the yarn I'd need already in stash.  It was like it was meant to be!

I went stash diving and pulled out all my Malabrigo Rios leftovers and realized that yes, I could practically get a blanket without buying anything.  I'm using Pines (which is what I've started with on the hexagons above), Holly Hock, and Purple Mystery for the centers of the hexagons, and I'm framing them with Whale's Road, which I also plan to use as the border.  If I make a smallish blanket, I won't use up all of my center, more solid yarns, but if I use up more of those yarns, I'll probably need more Whale's Road to border the whole thing.  I've clearly got some decisions to make!

At this point, I'll just make some hexagons and see how many I have when I start to get tired of them.

Oh, and in case you're wondering my two Blankets-In-Progress are the Battenburg Blanket and the Mystical Lanterns Blanket.
