Throw(n)

I'll be honest, 3 rows in, one pattern repeat (6 rows) doesn't seem like much of a challenge. I did design it to be deliberately easy so I had some hope of achieving it this week, but I'd also offer in my defence that I am a madwoman and decided to make the thing 180 stitches wide, because... well, it's supposed to cover a sofa. It takes quite a long time to complete one row. Anyway, I'm halfway there, which is good because work and social life are probably going to steal a couple of nights, so I figure pictures to celebrate. (A picture, anyway.) The camera doesn't like twilight very much so the colour isn't quite right, but you can see the pattern. Big, basic, simple. But as I'm knitting, I'm thinking about the sofa with the throw on, and the person I'm making it for snuggled under it, and there's some of that, invisible, bound in every stitch. 180 of them, multiplied by... quite a lot.
