Ever knitted with 2 different color yarns held together?

[laikabear]

I am working on a baby blanket right now and it is soooo tedious. I am kicking myself for using baby acrylic. (Knitting for a vegan family, no wool, boohoo).

I keep thinking I wish I'd held the yarn double (ie different pattern) so I could be done faster. What would it look like if you held one each of 2 different colored strands?

Just things I'm musing about to pass the time as I knit this biiiig blanket. Next time - booties.
