As it happened, I found too many mistakes in my first pattern row to fudge, so I frogged it out and started over. While I had other things going on today, I think my accomplishment of only 1.5 inches mathematically eliminates the possibility of finishing the project in 17 days. Say I double my output by not making any more mistakes, and double it again by not doing anything non-knitting; I still wouldn't get 100 inches or more done in 17 days.

Well, while I won't earn Olympic gold, I'll get a mohair blanket out of the deal.
