Finished the knitting yesterday, and it’s on the blocking mats.
I didn’t run out of the third color of the fade set when the designer specified that they did (on the last page of the pattern) and a crippling period of executive disfunction ensued. Other than that my stitch counts were spot on the whole piece, so I kept using the third color until I had 18 stitches left and then broke it off and proceeded to the next steps. The adjustment worked out fine.
The piece grew a SIGNIFICANT amount when soaked and pinned. I did not expect it to change size quite so significantly when blocked, but I am relieved that it’s about the size that’s described in the pattern.

Finished BLOCKED measurements:
88” long/wide
27” deep

Prior to blocking it was about 60”/62” long/wide, so it gained over 2’ during the process.
