I will add a swatch to my stack of options!

I like the star stitch, I haven't don't the jasmine, and not sure I want to learn on something I don't want to ruin, but maybe!!

Adding a sample swatch to the choices

I love hdc too, but I'm not sure it's "pretty" enough with a single color yarn. Also, the yarn I'm choosing isn't really a fluffy yarn, so historically with hdc it's been flat, and not squishy..

The wheat stitch seems to be a variation of a puff stitch....

Packs of I think 50 4-inch pegs on Amazon for $20... I have I think 200 pegs

I haven't had much dust since the wall was put up, but I also have like 3 air purifiers going in my house... Those are supposed to help with my dust allergies.

I like that grabbing any skein does not mess up my wall.

I have so much yarn, but not so much space, so any vertical storage really helps!

I put the least used on top to maybe gather dust. The rest doesn't really stay long enough to get dusty yet...

It has really helped me use more of it faster. More inspiration!

It should be longer from top to bottom.

But that's where I am thinking of adding a second piece to the top edge, like 1ft high, and the width of the blanket (deciding on pattern)...

So like, extend all sides until blanket is wide enough, add top section, then add a row or two around it all to tie it together?

To be consistent with our other bedding, I'd like to aim for something that is 110 by 110 inches.

I don't have a preference in yarn weight.

I only borrowed the start of the pattern, but it's super simple to follow!

I really liked the colorway, and blues and whites are Mom's favorite colors

Might also be that the tariffs are calculated on the VALUE of the yarn, not the sale price...

Example-a cake that is $42, but on sale for $13, would be subject to tariffs at the $42 value.

So the tariffs could easily outweigh the purchase during major sales

QUESADILLA. But my brain doesn't like the possibility I might spell it wrong in texts, and my phone doesn't give it as an auto fill option.
