I've been working since June on a ridiculous project in the context of rising temperatures and no air conditioning: a heavy, double-knitted blanket for Michael's office. I've only ever done one double-knitted project (a hat), so this was quite an extension of the concept. In order to finish it before the house got impossibly hot, it's been a daily goal to knit 8 rows. That might not sound like a lot, but that is more than 4000 stitches, since each row was 510 stitches. Needless to say, I haven't had a lot of time for blogging or anything else other than basic cooking/house tasks/bureaucracy.

But it's done! More than 227,000 stitches later, it's ready to be put in a storage bag to protect against moths and wait until the winter. I'll try to catch up with other news and events in the next few days, but my wrists are inexplicably tight at the moment.
Love,
Alexandra
It's absolutely beautiful!!
