Here is the blanket with 2 repeats done:

I will make another nb hat, then turn my attention to finishing Kate’s order. But since my mom came this morning, and I did not do my chores, perhaps I better do those first. We talked about the Santa Train Set. And we decide that $130 of yarn was just a bigger investment that we are comfortable making for one set. The blanket alone would take 10 hanks at $8.95 a hank. So, we are skipping the blanket and going with just a sweater and hat. We’ll be able do a couple sets this way. We’ll either exchange some of the yarn we have already purchased for other colors, or make them all the same colors.
