Pattern: Parakeet Blanket

Two years ago, Yarn Harlot came up with the idea for the Knitting Olympics. Knitters were challenged start and complete a challenging project during the 16 days of the 2006 Winter Olympics.

I made myself a lap blanket which was dubbed the Parakeet Blanket when, at the yarn store, my mother spotted some lovely silk yarn in a muted, variegated colorway that looked like a palette of watercolors all swirled together. The rainbow Plymouth Encore, on the other hand, looks rather like someone put a parrot in a blender.

This pattern is also available as a free Ravelry download.
