[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Knit throw

[slery]

You could do either, but I was picturing made as one, so if you had five 
blocks on a row, you knit across row 1 on all of them. You could do the 
border at the same time or at the end. I typically knit it at the same 
time. So, I would have border, marker, block 1, marker, block 2, marker, 
block 3, marker, block 4, marker, block 5, marker, border. You could do 
five different blocks or make 1 3 5 in one pattern and 2 4 in another. 
Then, repeat for how long it will be.

If you want to stick with your stripes idea, maybe do the even stripes 
in the letters and then odd stripes in a cable pattern.
