It was a much smoother action and felt more natural. I did the tricky 1st row - it always seems a bit tighter than other rows - and I got started 'in the round' with another couple of rows done before bed, so the ribbing is well underway.

It could still do with a border but he's using it every day, so maybe in warmer weather I'll tackle that. I've now started a blanket for boy1, with a tighter deadline as in theory he'll head off to Uni next September.
