The spontaneous lace scarf I made last week gave me a little boost. I actually used some laceweight yarn that had been languishing in my basement for a long time. I think I bought it right when Knit Picks came out with their alpaca laceweight heathers.
I started over on David's blanket. I cast on with size 11 needles and worsted weight cotton. (The man needs air when he sleeps. Imagine sleeping next to a heavily sweating golden bear.)
I cast on 6 stitches and knit six rows of garter stitch.
Then I started every following row with: knit 3, yarn over, knit to end of row. Whenever I get tired of garter stitch, I knit 3, yarn over, knit one, *yarn over knit two together* to yarnover from previous row and knit to end.
I don't plan the eyelet rows, I just let them happen.
The straight rows will be: knit 3, yarn over, knit two together, knit to end of row.
The decrease rows will be: knit 3, yarn over, knit two together, knit to last 5 stitches, slip slip knit, knit to end of row.
Easy as falling in love!

Nice scarf! Sometime a knit is so soothing. My hubby could sleep in a snowbank and he'd melt the snow around him. He's his own heater.
Cool. And glad the blanket is behaving properly now...!
This is very effective! Yes, I really like this might have a little go and see what I end up with.
