Thank you Moni for the Wonderful Xmas gift...

So I started knitting right on time - okay some days I was a bit excessive and sat up waiting for the posting of a clue! Clue by clue photos are in my Ravelry Account (RogueKnit). And for those who want to check out my stitches extra large here's a link to my Flickr photo!

And I Knitted and I Knitted and by the end my rows were taking 55 minutes to finish the pattern row and the subsequent purl row...but I did it...and with help from the beastie and the hubby I blocked today and here it is...



I'll post a picture on a model as soon as it's done drying!

Now for the technical stuff - I used JoJoland Harmony - ended up using about 1350 yards of cobweb weight on a size 2.5 needle - Finished dimensions are 90.5 inches at the top and 63 inches down a side. Now GO KNIT YOUR OWN!!!!
