Cozy Striped Blanket Borders Begun!

I am about halfway through L' Engle's Two-Part Invention.

I am really enjoying this; the first time I am re-reading it since

I gave my copy away to a cousin years ago and first 

time since I myself am married.

It's a comforting, real, consoling read.

I decided to do a boarder that is 'ribbed' as it were.

I have not picked up stitches yet as I kept knitting 

only where I already have a 'live' thread going.

I think I will practice a bit before making the boarder itself,

but am confident that I can do it.

I am pleased that so far I've done the first border section without mistake.

A few times I frogged back slightly but feel

that I am getting the hang of paying attention to my knitting

to do a more constant slightly more complicated stitch. 

I am excited to add a border to the rest of this blanket!

I think it will finish it off nicely. 

I am enjoying the colour combination!

And am already thinking of my next blanket, 

which will be in shades of blue and with continued stitching variations.

What are you reading and creating?

I would love to hear!
