This is such an easy knit - has enough variation that it progresses quickly, but not so complicated that it requires full attention. Perfect for knit night socializing or TV time.

I’m into the second skein, well through the halfway point of the last repeat section, and hope to move to the border/finishing rows soon.

This was set aside briefly for a looming deadline, but the KAL deadline for this one is only a few days later, so it’ll be off the needles soon! Want to get her blocked before posting photos to the KAL if at all possible.

Off the needles!

Two modifications:

1. I ran short of yarn and had to end after row 15 of the border. Not perfect, but manageable based on the pattern.
2. I bound off with the icelandic bind off - it matches the icord edging and uses less yarn than the picot bind off, plus, since I was short a few rows I wasn’t positive the picots would line up correctly.

Need to block, but my floor space is taken up by Otter Creek which is on day 4 of its post-block drying. As soon as it’s dry, I’ll get this one on the mats, with hopes that I can get it blocked and posted before the Nov 7th KAL deadline.
