The SIDES of my January Section.  

I've had a couple people reach out to me having trouble with the sides of their Temperature Blanket.  I just wanted to give a reference to what I am seeing on mine.

Yes, the January stitch is leaving us with sides that are not straight.  AND that's driving some people crazy.  I'll make a note on that with upcoming stitches and for future projects.  However, it is more experience working with patterns and learning what you do and do not like!  Which is GREAT!  The more you try the more you know!  

I've also had some people bring up concerns that their blanket sides are starting to be VERY MUCH not straight.  Without seeing a picture I'm not sure what happened.  All I can share is to please Count Your Stitches every so many rows.  Especially if you are newer and DEFINITELY if you are noticing a problem.  If you are already seeing a problem with your sides, I highly recommend you fix it now while it's still just a slight annoyance to go backward but not a complete tragedy.  Setting up your project on the right foot will not only make sure stitches in the future will work with this project but also mean you won't have trouble with the border when it comes time to finish everything up.

This project, I've chosen stitches that will work together and minimize the sides getting super wonky.  Please help me out by counting your stitches and watching for anything weird that might come up.  I hope you're having fun!! 🤗💖🧶
