Yarn: RHSS in "Shaded Brown" and "Coffee" (very old skeins)
Hook: H (5mm)
Specs: ---
Pattern: Spiral Granny Square Blanket by Secret Yarnery
Thoughts:
I have started and frogged like 10 different projects with these yarns. My friend recieved one of those "here's multiple garbage bags of yarn from the attic" hauls and let me pick out any I wanted, these yarns were some of them. I've learned that I do not care for Shaded Brown, visually.
The pattern itself is great, it's really simple. It feels SO slow to work up though, since you're bouncing between skeins of yarn, and there's not even a satisfying end to each row. You just put down what you were doing and go to somewhere else.
The plan for this blanket is that it will just be a workhorse that lives on the couch in the living room, so I'm not really pressed for an amazing outcome. I'll have more Coffee yarn leftover, I'm debating giving it a border? But by the nature of how its worked up, that seems hard to do while keeping it even.
Lessons Learned: I do not like yarns with large jumps in value/contrast
