After I got back from my business trip last Saturday I focused on completing my July Camp Loopy project. I finished up the third repeat of the chart on Tuesday - had to switch to 60 inch cables to fit all the stitches - and then started the I-Cord bind off. The bind off took me until Thursday to complete and I blocked it on Friday.
Blocking presented a bit of a challenge as the last chart repeat increased the stitches to the point where it wouldn't lay flat. In the end I didn't even pin anything, I just laid it out and let the edge ruffle. This morning I went back and picked up stitches and worked an I-Cord edging around the neck to give it more stability.
