I have knitted 70 rows. Since there are 184 stitches from row 22 or so, I estimate I've done about 12,000 stitches. And not a single error in the charts - so you can stop stressing about charts 1 and 2 and some of 3. Feel better? PS: I may have very nearly and almost a bit melted my addi's when I steam blocked the progress with the iron. A minor mishap, but I'll send you some pics tomorrow. Thank you so much for letting me do this, it's gorgeous!! Hey Jae,

This was really interesting; it was like having a long problem-solving conversation with an old friend. Thanks for sharing the thoughts and processes.
