I'm currently working on the Hemlock Ring Blanket. I'm using Cascade Eco+ Blue #7076 on two #10 circular needles. Here it is at round 47.

Thanks for sharing the close up! I'm just starting a Hemlock Ring (also in Cascade Eco, except I chose maroon) and seeing the detail is very helpful.

It's 100% Natural Peruvian

It's 100% Natural Peruvian Wool. The size has yet to be determined. The pattern extension creates a roughly 4 foot blanket, but you could keep extending it. I haven't decided.

I usually gravitate toward darker colors, but I chose to override my natural tendency for using dark colors and got this nice shade of blue (there was a really pretty dark green Cascade Eco+ that I almost got). I'm really glad that I chose a lighter color.
I'm really enjoying knitting this pattern. It's also been good to have something low impact to work on while I'm recovering from a mild case of pneumonia.
Peace,
Paul
