I just made up this pattern by starting and finishing with 6 rows of garter stitch. I knit the first and last 6 stitches to create a garter stitch border. In between (I think) I used 8 rows stockinette and 8 rows of garter stitch alternately to desired length. The gauge is about 2 stitches to an inch, so I cast on 80 stitches.
Here is the pile of yarn I started with.
Blanket in progress. Note the twist-ties being used as stitch markers (I didn't have any large enough for the size 17s)
It's done!

Okay, I think you would love the hobby knitting machines for the Project Linus blankies. Tracy & I made a whole bunch, something like 12 or 13 in one day with 2 machines. Of course it took us a year to actually get them to our LYS for donation ;o) I don't procrastinate or anything.
I meet with a group of "blanketeers" in Rescue, and they have a couple of knitting machines and really crank out the blankets. I actually have (or used to have) a machine myself, but never got into it. I'll have Bud keep his eye out for it (probably under the house).
