Giganto-blanket is finished!

It’s squishy and huge and pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. It’s so big you can hide under it:

If you read my previous post about giganto-blanket, you may notice that the gauge is much different from how it started. That’s because I started knitting on broomsticks:

But the broomsticks proved to be just too small for this project. I know, right? So I went back to the hardware store and bought a 10-foot length of 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe. I had them cut it in half, and then I added some duct-tape “tips” to the “needles” and started knitting. This time, the gauge was just right:

The cats really love it.

A friend of mine asked for a video of the knitting process, so I recorded a (low-quality) video of this madness. Check it out below. And if you’re interested in recreating this blanket and need a bit more instruction, stay tuned for a full tutorial and pattern!
