The latest seekrit knitting project

[nonelvis]

An op art baby blanket for haineux, his wife, and of course the little baby-to-be.



It may look a little misshapen here, but that's normal; this photo was taken while I was wet-blocking it to straighten it out. It looked positively amoebic when I took it off the needles!

Made in Ella Rae Amity, and my first project knitting with two circular needles. It was easy and lots of fun, though by the end the blanket was so large that each row took a good 25 minutes.

"You are entering a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind..."

or is it "Do not adjust your set. We control the horizontal. We control the vertical."

I never can remember which show that graphic goes with.

Your first quote is from The Twilight Zone, and the second is from The Outer Limits, but neither credit sequence I found had this pattern. I wonder if it appeared in a later version of the credits?

The Twilight Zone opening circular pattern is the one your piece reminds me of.

Made me think of Time Tunnel, if you've ever seen that one.

You always pick great colors and soft materials (you may recall I road-tested Nathan's while napping during Clare's labor).

I haven't seen Time Tunnel, but based on the images that pop up when I Google it, I can see why the blanket reminds you of it!

I can't take full credit for the yarn choice -- the good folks at Mind's Eye Yarns in Porter Square are always quite helpful finding the right yarn for the project.
