Easy Purl Striped Blanket
So happy I can finally post again! I have been gone for a long minute but for great reasons. These past two weeks have been crazy active! First, my oldest sister from LA came for a visit and was so helpful with my little baby, Maya. She really is a baby whisperer. :) Then this past week my sister from Las Vegas came into town. It was a nice visit because I was able to meet Maya's newest cousin who is super adorable. With all that was going on, there was no time to post. Miraculously, I was able to fit in a small amount of knitting. :)
Last week, I was finally able to complete the afghan I designed for my husband! It turned out better than I expected. I gave it to him this weekend and he loved it! Wife for the win! Unfortunately for him, me and the dog also love it. I hope he is prepared to have it stolen away on more than one occasion.

Hello! I just completed the Easy Purl Striped Blanket. I love this pattern, and as a beginning knitter it was so nice to have a lovely yet achievable pattern. However, I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong! I followed the pattern, using circular needles and all went just fine. However, I've bound it off at the end and it is still in a giant "tube" rather than spread out in an afghan or throw. It is the perfect length but half the width. It's almost like I need to cut it down the side to make it a throw rather than a tube. Any suggestions on what I did wrong, or how to fix it? I would so appreciate your help!
