Changes to the Scrap Blanket

I finally pulled apart my blanket so I could use the green for boyfriend's last Irish project: socks. Then I couldn't decide if I maybe ought to try to find something else for the purple yarn before I put it in there, so I just started with the leftover black from my slippers.

I only cast on 180 stitches this time because it seemed excessively long when I pulled it off  the needles. This time I also decided to do a garter stitch boarder so it wouldn't roll. After the black I put in the rest of the self-striping since I haven't finished the hat I'm making with it yet, but I do have all the yarn I need for them. That got me up to four rows or the garter stitch boarder.

I was originally going to have 4 rows at the top and 3 stitches on each side, but then I thought that maybe I'll do five on each side and instead of doing ribs, I'll do boxes. I think that could be nice, However, I don't have anymore yarn to add to the blanket just yet, so I can wait on that decision until later.

Happy knitting!
