Progressing right along, here's some pics of the Christmas Blanket 2/3rds of the way done:

Lesson learned at this stage: Straiten the weaving every 5 nails on the \ (weft) and every 20 nails (color change) on the / (warp)
The orange string above is a non-stretchy nylon cord that I wound around the nails. I had been straitening the weft, but didn't think about the warp until I noticed that the strands at the bottom were getting really compact.

Yarn Cakes! The Blue and Fuscia are full skeins, the Red (bottom 2) have only 10 nails worth of yarn used, and the 3 on the right are what's left over after 20 nails I love the consistency of this technique in yarn usage...

Jaxyn's not sure about the addition of the Olive Green to the color mix...
