Finally done

Look at this thing:

Made up of 5 balls of Red Heart Super Saver, knit in linen stitch on US size 11 (8mm) needles. Cast on July 16 in Canada.

8/1 - joined the 3rd skein

8/13 - finished the 3rd skein

9/1 - measures about 56” wide and 60” long.

9/10 - joined with 4th skein

9/24 - knit the last row, just need to bind off.

Finished size is roughly 60"x71" though I need to remeasure it to be sure. Amazingly, I do not hate linen stitch... in fact, pretty much still loving it. Simple, easy, mindless. Sometimes that's exactly what you need.
