[Nfb-krafters-korner] circular needles

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Have you ever done a blanket in cotton, maybe the 8 ply?  My skin does not like fuzzy things, much.  Does the cotton come in verigated?  Where did you do your increases?  Can you give me more detailed directions.
Sounds pretty.  I might be joining a prayer group at my church that knits items to donate.  They also want me to join the quire.  I need to get some new strings for my guitar and get back into playing.  I have written 2 gosple songs.

I did my blanket in a green  and used a light and a medium lavender.  As I did the diagonal striping I  switched back and forth between a garter stitch [knit every row] color stripe  and a stockenette [knit 1 row and purl 1 row color stripe.  So it was just  a pattern made up and I just changed the color and the pattern stitch as I went  along.  I have not worked on it during the summer, but the fall is  coming.  I put it on the bed and snuggle under it while I knit.  I  have fallen asleep and in the middle of the night wondered what was sticking me  as I pulled the blanket up around my neck better.  
I can report in that I  haven't dropped a stitch yet as I ccan pull up these circular needles and get  the points far away from the stitches sittting on the needles.
 
Another tip for Cindy:
 
It is easier for me to use circular needles because I don't have to feel around to find the knitting needle that dropped some place.  They are  always attached!
