Foiled again

Remember how I said I had it all worked out in my mind for Crochet Queen's blanket and it seemed to be fitting into reality nicely? Hah. I got down to the last 5 rows of squaring off and checked everything to see how it was shaping the blanket. Um, it was shaping the blanket but in the wrong way. With every getting-slightly-larger row it was subtly pushing the points of the blanket out, thus making this corner REALLY wide, as in becoming 1/6th of the blanket rather than the approximate 1/8th it should be. (And don't anyone go saying that when dealing with approximations and depending on how large your whole is 1/6 could actually be an approx. 1/8!) There was some consideration of still doing the other corners the same but there was concern on how the end shape/result would be, especially since the parts I was crocheting on were at a slightly tighter gauge than the rest of the blanket, thus less resistant. So I frogged it all (sniff! good-bye 2 evenings of hard work!), went up 2 hook sizes (gauge now matches), and am simply putting lines that get slightly smaller and will eventually end in the corner point. No clever little mitered corners but at least maybe the blanket will shape up normal.
