And it's safe to say, this is one of my top five favorite projects ever. (Also in the top five : the headboard & the giant song lyric canvas – surprisingly, both are also black and white.)

But really, I love it. I love that the idea came from something similar but different. I love that is huge enough to wrap up in completely. I love that it's so soft. I love that it's perfectly imperfect, but doesn't have holes in it or any serious errors. I love that it got me though January, the second toughest month of this deployment (September was bad news).

I can't wait to show it to Paul in real life. And now on to the next – I am hoping to make my driftwood wreath this weekend.

If you'd like, you can see the start of this project here and an update here.

    I do love some knitting, even better admiring someone elses. You’ve done well to have worked so many projects! Phew.
