Section 1 complete! Without weighing I’d say I’m about 2/3 of the way through the first skein. Excited to move to the next section and see faster progression of colors as the rows get longer and longer.

Finished up the first skein during the second repeat of section 2. Things are moving faster now!

Finished section 2 and started section 3. One more strand of color change left in the 2nd skein, plan is to knit the extended section 3 until I’ve used as much of the yarn as possible.

Off the needles! Did 10 extra rows in section 3 to use up all the yarn, and boy howdy did I! I ended up running out of yarn 6 stitches short of the BO, so I improvised that end with a no yarn bind off. Totally unnoticeable.

Ended with nothing but the 2 in tail at the cast off, and the two inch tail at the bind off. Pretty good for maximizing utilization of the gradient and the yarn.

Right into the soak this morning and on the blocking mats now.

The arms are 84” x 60” with a 24” depth from the middle corner.
