FIN: The final size was somewhere between M and L -- 19 sets of stripes (16 is M, 20 is L) and 5 ridges in the edging (5 is M, 7 is L). It’s a good size for me. It washed up great and relaxed a bit. I don’t have blocking wires so my edge blocking leaves quite a bit to be desired. I’m happy with it! I used 85g of the saffron and 65g of the well water.

30 nov: finished it on the plane yesterday! I’m going to wash and block it and then weave in the ends! :)

29 oct: 13 sets of stripes now… the rows are getting really long. It is taking me over an hour to knit 4 rows (gah). I may stop at 16 sets of stripes (medium size).

25 oct: worked on this yesterday. I think I’m at 11 pairs of stripes right now -- M size is 16, L is 20. I may push myself to 20 if I have enough yarn (I should).

19 oct: didn’t take it on my biz trip due to space limitations. boo! I really want to finish it though. I need to prioritize my knits I guess. :)

8 oct: coming with me on my business trip! Here’s hoping I can get some airplane knitting done on it.

28 aug: amazingly, just got through the first section. onto the stripes! I have discovered that Norwegian purling seems to alleviate some of my problems with purl-back rows. Maybe I will finish some of my WIP shawls yet.

The m1L on the wrong side MIGHT MAKE ME CRAZY.

26 aug: cast on at lunchtime, couldn’t resist. I’m not sure I can deal with the purl-back rows though. I am going to try a few different purling methods and see if I can find anything faster than my usual method that doesn’t kill my wrists.
