I've known for awhile that I had a few areas where the stitching was "wrong" on the beginning of this blanket, but I wasn't too worried about it. As I've been knitting I keep considering these areas and liking how it looks. What if there were little bits here and there of stockinette, of ribbing?
Another what if I was considering was to spin some of the yarn for this rather than work with the goal of using up the stash. I've decided that seed stitch isn't the best choice for my thick and thin hand spun. Maybe if I make a more consistent thickness? Maybe...
