Final numbers
Will be updated once I’ve slept.

But my stash is down 12 skeins of fingering.

Ok slept.
6th skeins: used 20g of both MC and CC.
If I had knit only 4 chart A repeats at beginning and end, I would have used every inch of 5 skeins a piece.

Measurements:

Length, light stretch. 100 inches/260cm
Width, no stretch, 40inches/102cm

Not going to block. I don’t want to lose the squishy texture.
