Notes

8/12 lower edging finished. It weights 13.7 g (with scrap yarn still attached). Needles weight 6.9 g
I managed to knit the lower rhombi, but had to stop before I began the zigzag as the chart I printed cut part of the image. 23.1g (with needles and st markers) 16.2g - lower edging+set up for the center.

8/15 first repeat done - 30.6g (23.7g without the needles). Following repeats will weight 7.5g each.

8/19 3 edging repeats done, badly blocked because K decided to sleep on it as soon as we put the knitting on the mat to block. 2 edging repeat (or 5 body repeat) measures at least 12 in each. 41.7g used so far.
I see a change in number of total repeats in my future…

8/30 approx. 42 in, still badly blocked. Will weight and count repeats once it's dry. 72g used so far, I’m past the half point :)

9/05 finished the body 2 days ago and started the top edging. Less than 2 repeats to go. I should be done with the knitting today. As for blocking…I might need to wait for Joel to get home so we can assemble the wooden frame. We’ll see.

Final measurements: 121.7 g (I was dead on on the weight :D), 84cm x 200cm, still could be blocked harsher - it was a nightmare to block it, though and I’ll just leave good enough alone.
