Notes

Oh my goodness.
This thing is simply MASSIVE.
I’m always impressed when I bind off something that’s been on circs, because it inevitably becomes much larger than it ever appeared on the needles.
I used a plain garter border. Plan is to dunk it into some water and block this sucker out a bit. Then off to Belgium to live with Maggie and Greg!
