It’s 20″. Hey, that was two weeks ago, pre-water leak and pre-guests! There are lace parts (they’ll stretch out the moment water touches it) and stockinette (not so much.) It’s 25″. It’s whatever length it wants to be in the moment, but whatever, my needles say I’m back to work and making progress and it feels good to be back.

One thing I do know: I’m at the point where I need to put it on two long circs tomorrow so I can lay it out all the way flat and just stare at the thing awhile to make sure that what I think I want is still what I actually want from here.

Can I just, y’know, squeeze a Great Blue Heron in on this side? Could I make that picture work on a small enough number of stitches that it doesn’t look ridiculous in scale to the moose?
