3/2/15 - Still have not blocked due to being sick for two months, so not logging as complete. Have, however, figured out a way to get some reasonably priced blocking wires which will help make this look great.
12/25/14 - Yarn is not a perfect match, but it will definitely do. Knit up the last repeat and grafted border together. Blocking scheduled for New Year’s weekend.
12/15/14 - Have located a skein and sent paypal for it. Once that arrives, I’ll be able to finish this sucker. For the moment, though, it’s going into hibernation.
12/13/14 - officially ran out of yarn last night with half a border repeat and grafting to go. Unfortunately, this isn’t a colorway that is in many stashes, so I’ve got my fingers crossed that I’ll be able to get more. Messages have been sent.
12/7/14 - Less than 10 repeats to go -- though I’m starting to get a little worried I might not have quite enough.
11/28/14 - Just finished 38 out of 56 repeats on the border, so only have 18 more to go!

I’d rather go without than have something that I feels reduces the elegance of the design.
1/1/12 - Officially Cast on
