I'm finding the constant basketweave fairly relaxing though... of course, I have other projects going at the same time, which give me a break. I'm liking the Cotton-Ease so far- I've heard it gets softer with washing! That’s funny– we are knitting almost the same thing!

DD must love it (or keep it for yourself!) Is the other half the same basketweave? I think I'd be tempted to pick some other all over design. Its looking so great Nancy!

The castle looks awesome! 50x60 is usually a good lap blanket size. But I know what you mean about all that basket weave. Have you seen Alison's blankies? She did strips of different colors/textures is they look great. <a href="http://alison.knitsmiths.us/blueroom_fips/3texture_blankie.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://alison.knitsmiths.us/blueroom_fips/3texture_blankie.shtml</a> <a href="http://alison.knitsmiths.us/blueroom_fips/s_blankie.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://alison.knitsmiths.us/blueroom_fips/s_blankie.shtml</a> Maybe something like that would help break up the endless basketweave?
