Project: Aran baby blanket

[serinde]

Context: I'm knitting a baby blanket for incoming spawn of someone in our D&D group, which I'm doing in a vaguely Irish-fisherman-sweater style. I couldn't find a pattern I liked, so I made it up, which always works so terribly well.... Just as with sewing, this turned into a giant pile of math errors flying in close formation. However, now I'm N rows in, so this is what it is going to be:

* 5-stitch garter stitch border
* p2
* 8-stitch horseshoe cable (knit)
* p3
* 13-stitch Aran diamond
* p3
* 8-stitch horseshoe cable
* 20-stitch "Lover's Knot" clustered cable (this has p2 whitespace built in on either side of it)
* 8-stitch horseshoe cable
* p3
* 13-stitch Aran diamond
* p3
