Very nice. I just love that

Very nice. I just love that colorway - lots of purple, according to the monitor I'm using. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.

Looks very nice. Stephen

Looks very nice. Stephen West is a good designer and his patterns are well explained, I've done Boneyard and a couple of Daybreaks and I'm very happy with them.

The yarn is kettle dyed by a New Zealand company called Creative Fibres(?).The colour is Blackberry.
The rows were long but I think that the piece I am working on now has longer rows...............

Wow. By widest point I'm

Wow. By widest point I'm taking it that you mean the diagonal. So if it's just over five feet on the diagonal, the sides (according to Pythagoras) are very close to four feet long. That's a very long row. I've never knitted a row that long. Did you use two long (60") circulars to knit it?
