It would be a blatant untruth if I said that knitting this edging was anything other than hugely boring. I’ve crept past the half-way point (no turning back now) and am into 400-stitch range. The end is in sight, but just barely.
The good news: I really like the ghilie green edging and really want to wear this soon. I’ve been wrapping myself up and running to the bathroom mirror — dangling yarn, needle cable, and all — just to occasionally check progress, and so far it’s lovely. There were moments of doubt, when I thought that perhaps I would end up looking like a version Miss Hughes in her “beige woollen shroud,” but now I can’t believe that I actually *made* this.
Air conditioning in Nashville is aggressive and I’ve often wished for a shawl that is basically a socially-acceptable blanket to wrap up in. I think this just might be it. It is huge.

Totally socially acceptable blanket. It’s wonderful.
swoon. this is gorgeous. i’m with you on the idea of socially acceptable blankets. way better than snuggies.
Here’s hope the boring edging doesn’t go past day 4.
I also think that will work with a huge socially acceptable blanket.
