Monday 10/7: Rainbow Connection

I've decided that my next project shall in fact be a pillow.  I am currently working on the pattern and will start it as soon as a) the pattern is created and b) I complete the first panel of the blanket I'm working on.  This picture is a little out-dated, seeing as I've been working on it since the picture was taken.  It is now about twice as long.  I have noticed a slight problem with the pattern.  At the beginning of the panel, some of the stripes aren't as thick as the others.  This alone isn't the issue, but overtime these thinner stripes have about disappeared.  Personally, I think that it looks a lot better with the thicker stripes.

Later down the line this might be a big problem.  Since this blanket will be done in panels, I need to make sure that the thinner stripes in the beginning match up.  I don't think that it overall looks bad, if anything, it gives the blanket a little bit of character.  I don't want to have to take everything out just to fix a mistake at the very beginning.  To be honest, I don't know if I can make some of the stripes thicker in the beginning without adding stitches to the base chain.  I guess we'll just wait and see.

Is anyone else working on anything at the moment? Blanket or not?

The scarf is still for sale at my Etsy shop here: Mystic Yarn Creations
