Blanket update

Remember the blanket I'm making for the SPCA? I finally picked it up a week or so ago and I've made some decent progress*:



That's after (almost) three skeins of bright orange acrylic. I've got to say, it's extremely soft, squishy, and comfortable-seeming.

This weekend I kind of learned how to knit British-style (or "the right way", as my grandmother would say). I'm very slow, my tension is too tight, and I still prefer continental, but learning must count for something, right?
