Anything else? This blanket is very easy, but towards the middle, it was monotonous. Gage is not really crucial -- I used size 13 needles instead of Size 11, and I increased until I was about halfway through the 2nd skein.

I'm not sure how well it will hold its shape (I've heard homespun sometimes has issues because it is so heavy) I love the way the colors stripe in the blanket, and the fact that it's worked on the diagonal makes it look fancy. I can confirm that I don't like plastic needles -- they just don't have the right balance.

I'm done with more than half of my baby blankets!!!
