This is the cushion so far. It's a real challenge to just physically manage such a large project.
Up until about an hour ago, I had all of the 400 stitches on one 80cm circular needle! While having a break and looking at patterns on
Ravelry, I saw a
baby blanket pattern that called for three circular needles! Why didn't I think of that?
It really hasn't made it easier to manage - the needles get tangled in each other, the work has room to sprial out of control!... - but it has made it a lot easier to actually work/knit and to keep track of how many stitches I have and where I am in the work.
I don't think I've done myself any favours working with such a disparate needle : yarn weight ratio.

| CD for size comparison. |

I'm using these great little point guards to secure the ends of the needles,
so that I don't have to worry about losing stitches. |

| 10mm needles, with DK yarn. (US: 15 needles/ 8 ply yarn. UK: 000 needles DK yarn) |
 |
| Stitch markers to mark the decrease positions. |
 |
Row marker, to marke the start or the new row.
I'm using green on the rows that I need to decrease, and red for the regular knit rows. |
