Hairpin Lace Gargantuan blanket

I like it when blankets cover my feet and have a lot of extra room to also pull up under my chin. Because of this, I decided to make a king size Hairpin Lace blanket.
Whenever I travel, I purchase a couple skeins of wool yarn from that place. So far, mostly I have used my favorite yarn from Moonrover. I didn’t want to have to count stitches, or waste any wool (since I’ll probably spent more than $500 on the skeins to finish it) so I wrapped the individual “braids” around and down to the next row.

This makes for an interesting, knobby, and non-symmetrical look. I love it! This blanket is a ton of scratchy wool bliss, and will be a never ending project.
