It's very easy knitting once you get the pattern down. It makes a heavy, nice sized, lap blanket.

I have also decided to participate in the Totally Useless SAL again. I'm using my jar that I started in July. I'm thinking I might divide it into two jars--one knitting, one stitching.
Here is the jar as it is now--the bulky yarn from the blanket really added to the contents.
