I absolutely LOVE how this turned out. I added an extra repeat so I could get two full rainbows. I got gypped on the red the first time around, as there was a knot, and I’m just not convinced I got the full run. I like red, so it seemed important enough to add another 10 rows to it. The length across the top is 86″ and the longest point is 36″. It’s absolutely perfect. I would keep going, but then I’d just be openly gushing about how much I love it, so I will spare you! It took me three weeks on the calendar, but I was temporarily distracted by knitting some market bags, which I will share with you soon. I know I said I didn’t want to knit anything else (and I really didn’t), but my mother and I pursued the idea of knitting market bags out of need. More on this later.
