I spent over a year knitting a beautiful throw blanket. Off and on, I would work on it in fits, with long periods of ignoring it in between. In the last few months, due to a job that often leaves me with extended stretches of time with nothing to do, I worked on it sometimes five, six hours a day. It is really stunning. It's a mossy green color and full of intricate patterns and fringe. It is the biggest knitting project I have done, and I am very proud of it.
I've used it once.
The cat won't get off of it.
