My neighbors think I'm crazy.

So recently, I had an epiphany. 

It may be easier to make 3 different panels for this gigantic knitted project then just one long one.  I'm very glad I did.  I finished one panel and have put it on over the holiday!  I nearly dropped my tools off the balcony at least a dozen times, and had a yarn snap accident that actually worked out for the best.  So for the next panel, I'm dropping stitches around the edges.  I'm excited for panel 2.  My neighbors are not excited for the cursing.

Pictures to come.
