Calling this beast done! Still needs to be blocked and attach toggles (preferred over zipper)

10/27 Eeeek! No wonder the second front went so fast!!!!! missed an entire section. Working in secret dark places definitely has its drawbacks!

Mark LOVES this pattern…

knitting this in secret so much of it is being done in the garage (brrrr)
