Oh, Wow, I wasn't even close. I thought you would be too busy working to finish it this weekend. By the way, that photo today would make a great card. You really need to make up a new set with these miter pics. I love your photography. Now I can't wait to read the specifics on your blankie.

Posted by: Jamisyn at April 29, 2007 03:03 PM

how very exciting for you! I, however, was WAY off.

Posted by: nishanna at April 29, 2007 03:16 PM

48 hours ahead of my guess! Congratulations! Can't wait to see pictures.

Posted by: kathy at April 29, 2007 03:23 PM

Oh, shoot! I never got around to guessing...

Can't wait to see details!

Posted by: Stephanie at April 29, 2007 03:55 PM

So...what do you plan to do with all the leftover yarn?

Posted by: Emma in France at April 29, 2007 03:56 PM

Congratulations! Now open that bottle of wine and have a good sit down.

Very cute title

Posted by: Jenn at April 29, 2007 04:03 PM

congratulations!! I'm excited to see all the miters (even if my original guess and the modified guess were both WAY off! :) )

Posted by: Nikki at April 29, 2007 04:27 PM

i cannot wait to see the completed project. i've been keeping up with your progress and it's very inspiring! :-D

Posted by: anna at April 29, 2007 04:28 PM

Looking forward to seeing it all put together!

Posted by: amyH at April 29, 2007 04:30 PM

Arrraaagghhhhhhh. I was one day off!

Posted by: Kat at April 29, 2007 04:30 PM

Yea for you but man was I was quite a few days off!

PICTURES!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Debbie at April 29, 2007 04:45 PM

Wow, look at all those colors! I think you could knit another mitered blanket from the leftovers!
I think my guess was off by about 10 hours or so :-(

Posted by: Brenda at April 29, 2007 04:46 PM

I love this picture! very cool & inspiring

Posted by: meg at April 29, 2007 04:57 PM

That is definitely a big TA-DA moment. Revel. Do you have a back-up methadone treatment ready to get you thru the next couple days? ;-)

Posted by: Gretch at April 29, 2007 05:02 PM

I hope you make a card set using this photo, one of the finished product, and some of the photos along the way...

Congrats. Let the sewing-up begin -- or the casting on of something new. Knitter's choice.

Posted by: Vicki at April 29, 2007 05:05 PM

Wow, I'm impressed...and off by about 12 hours. And eagerly awaiting tomorrow's FULL REPORT! With pictures! I'm going into withdrawals here...

Posted by: Betsy at April 29, 2007 05:09 PM

If only you had finished around 6 hours earlier. :)

Posted by: Corvus at April 29, 2007 05:12 PM

Mazel tov! I'm filled with awe and inspiration. I cast on for my first miter last night. My guess was way off, but no matter: you're done! And now, the sewing up commences (yikes). Your sense of color is truly remarkable. I look very forward to seeing your finished blanket.

Posted by: regina at April 29, 2007 05:14 PM

I have so enjoyed seeing your wonderfully documented miter progress. Can't wait to see your final decision on putting them all together!!

Posted by: jillian at April 29, 2007 05:20 PM

I really do not remember what I guessed. I should have written it down! Yaay for miter completion- I'm so excited to see your final project all sewn and lovely!

Posted by: Nichole D. at April 29, 2007 06:01 PM

Staring at all that yarn, I may be converted to the ecstatic gospel of colour appreciation.

How is it possible for them to even make one yarn in so many colours? Congratulations.

Posted by: snakeface at April 29, 2007 06:07 PM

Congratulations! I can't wait to hear all of the details!

Posted by: Megan at April 29, 2007 06:09 PM

Well, my guess was within 24hrs at least! Those cotton colors look gorgeous arranged like that ... what on earth are you going to do with all those leftovers?! Can't wait to see the finished piece all sewn up and bordered.

Posted by: Alison at April 29, 2007 06:13 PM

I forgot to guess, but I listened to Wages of Sin in your honour. Dude, you can stop paying now :-)

Posted by: Lee Ann at April 29, 2007 06:28 PM

Hmm, completely forget when I guessed, although I'm pretty sure I got the day right. ? Congratulations!

Posted by: Jen at April 29, 2007 06:28 PM

dying to finally see it- congrats!

Posted by: Tracey at April 29, 2007 06:28 PM

One question, however--- DID you CAST on the next project!!!!?????? What's the next blanket?

Posted by: Tracey at April 29, 2007 06:29 PM

The actual finish time is surprisingly close to the example you used in your contest announcement. I wonder what I guessed?

Posted by: Carrie at April 29, 2007 07:00 PM

Woo Hoo! Yipee! Congratulations!
I cannot WAIT to see it!

Posted by: Jo at April 29, 2007 08:35 PM

Congrats!!!

Posted by: Kristin at April 29, 2007 08:48 PM

I don't remember what I guessed either!

Congratulations!!! Obviously, WE can't wait to see it!!!! And I AM wondering what you cast on next....

Posted by: Jo-Anne at April 29, 2007 09:05 PM

About 14 hours faster than I guessed! Well done.

Posted by: BethC at April 29, 2007 09:14 PM

The last miter! I'm going to miss the knitting of them, but I look forward to watching how you put them together.

Posted by: Gwen at April 29, 2007 09:58 PM

I love the photo!

(If you're wondering about my guess being so long from now, for some reason I thought you had 17 large squares to knit, not the quarters. I didn't want you to think I thought it would take you that long to knit 4 large squares. ;) )

Posted by: Andrea (noricum) at April 29, 2007 10:00 PM

That is one beautiful collection o' yarn.

Posted by: Sonya at April 29, 2007 10:23 PM

!!!!! How exciting! (you finished exactly 10 hours, 5 minutes earlier than I predicted).

I can't wait for pictures!!!

Posted by: earthchick at April 29, 2007 10:38 PM

Huge bummer. I'm pretty sure I went over. By minutes. Argh! At least I still get the prize of seeing the mitres - can't wait!

Posted by: Julia at April 29, 2007 11:40 PM

Congratulations!

Posted by: E to the M at April 29, 2007 11:42 PM

Wow you blew away my guess. Great job!

Posted by: moirae at April 30, 2007 12:35 AM

Congratulations. Rest well. I hope you enjoyed your jobs this weekend, also.

Now, the arranging, for me, that would take forever, however, with your eye for color, I am sure it will be beautiful.

Posted by: PICAdrienne at April 30, 2007 02:33 AM

Wow! That's fast! I was waaaaaaay way off! Show pictures! NOW!

Posted by: Heidi at April 30, 2007 03:02 AM

is there any way to shout "PICTURES NOWNOWNOW!!!!" without sounding obnoxious? I hope so, because....

Posted by: mrspilkingtonknits at April 30, 2007 07:24 AM

Congrats! Can't wait to see the pictures!!!

Posted by: Angelia at April 30, 2007 08:21 AM

whooohoo, I was an hour and 6 minutes off. But out of a bizillion entrys I'm sure someone was closer.

Congratulations! I can't wait to see it.

Posted by: Sarah at April 30, 2007 08:35 AM

I've been reading but just popped in to say "HOORAY!!!"

Posted by: Deb at April 30, 2007 08:44 AM

wow. Congratulations - and beautiful colors. This would make another beautiful card.

Posted by: ashley at April 30, 2007 08:46 AM

Oh I totally second making that photo into a card - gorgeous!

Posted by: Julia at April 30, 2007 09:01 AM

I have been reading your blog for a while, and I have to say I love it; I'm always delighted to see a new entry, and your knitting can always be relied upon to make me smile. I cannot *wait* for the reveal of the mitred blanket! But what has induced me to delurk is today's photo. If I had a large version of that, I'd use it as my computer wallpaper at work. Fab!

Posted by: Alison at April 30, 2007 09:31 AM

Oh look at all those colors. The throw is going to be so pretty!!!
