I did it! Finished the #AuroraCabinShawl designed by #StephenWest and subject of this year's Hiber-Knit-Along, in which we all cast on, on Dec. 26th.

Hard work, also such fun. A big adventure. Mostly used Jade Sapphire silk-cashmere fingering weight yarn - correct yardage but lighter weight than pattern specified.

Will get better shots outside tomorrow, the color is off in these shots. My CNA Christine is modeling. What a thrill to complete it!

OMG Mastoknitterati, hallelujah!

I've been working on the i-cord bind-off of over 1,000 stitches on this WIP... Knit 2, knit 2 together through back, slide 3 stitches from right needle back to left. One stitch bound off. Repeat 999 more times... 1/2

I've reached the point where the WIP is so big - approaching the legendary "shlanket" size designer Stephen West is known for - that it's hard to spread out to show the whole thing, until it's off needles. Every picture I post looks like the last one, but I have to call out my 6 rows achieved today. Loooong rows.

This weekend, wrap up 5-color band, knit deep chevron border. Then block! Then wear!

Hello Mastoknitters! Had to frog (tear out) four rows because I was off one stitch across the pattern. Whoops! Now in forward motion, on slip-stitch section 6...

There are no #IntentionalHoles in this one, but I've got plenty of examples off in a heap!
