1 mar 10 - knit a couple of rows and switched to a metal addi circ as i realised that the snagging on the join of the bamboo circ was putting me off knitting.
19 apr 11 - am working on it. finished rpt 10 of edging last night and am halfway through rpt 11
9 may - finished rpt 2 of main section. made it to row 215 so i’m calling it 40 per cent for tonight. this is going to be a great size too i think. actually, i think that it’s going to be stunning. have to keep knitting away at it, although i’m really pleased that i managed to knit 5 per cent of it today. that means if i did an equivalent amount every day for 12 days i could be finished … wow.

13 may - half way there! also edge rpt 17 done. measures 90cm in length. am going to put this aside for a bit now; i feel as though i have proven that i can get through it and will be able to manage it by the end of the year.
