Neither color is accurate....the yarn is more of a taupe color.
Would I knit it again? Probably. But - would make it much larger. Would also consider another edging. Maybe. We'll see what it looks like without the pins.
If all goes according to plan, I will have knit 110 rows in pattern....then do the bind off. I would like to knit the blanket as large as possible using the 2 skeins of yarn.
Since I am pessimistic about yarn (will there be enough?) I unscientifically figure (postage scale) that each row uses ~one half ounce of yarn....I have a little more than 5 ounces left....3 more knit rows = 1.5 ounces leaving 3.5 for the bind off. Sounds good!
