not blocked yet

stayed up late last night to finish knitting this, mostly because i needed to know if i was going to run out of yarn before my last stitch.

the tiny ball of yarn in this picture is all that is left:

i had to rip out the border early on because my needle slipped out and by the time i grabbed it back, several stitches had become long hanging threads -- no hope of picking up any dropped stitches:
