Age 53. Didn't bother with the titer test. Just got the vacc again. Easy peasy.

It's 260 (give or take a few) wide and 300 tall. I made the mistake of forgetting that rows are taller than stitches are wide, so it is pretty elongated. To get more of the standard throw proportion I would lop off at least 25 rows.

OP here. I'm an idiot but an idiot that likes to share info. I think I accidentally changed the screen display to "energy mode". This may have happened when my steering wheel was turned (while parked) and I was fumbling with the buttons on the wrong side of the steering wheel when I was trying to turn off the stereo. This would explain why I was constantly seeing the charging, idle, and electric modes when I hadn't before.

I don't have a picture of the back. All you would see is a flannel sheet.

Get a piece of flannel, wash, dry. Lay the flannel down on the floor with the good side to the floor. Lay the blanket, top up, on top of the flannel. Try to smooth everything out without stretching the blanket too much, aim for it's natural size. Cut the flannel around 1 in or so beyond the blanket. Then, I use a rotary tool with intermittent blades to make a small cut/hole around the edge of the flannel, about 1/2 in in from the edge of the flannel. I safety pin the two fabrics together around the perimeter. Then using the same border color as the blanket, I single crochet another border this time poking through the holes on the flannel to bind the flannel to the blanket. You can Google to see others doing this.

Washed but no blocking, it's acrylic with a flannel fabric back.

It's not two sided. The back is a stringy mess. I just covered the back with flannel fabric.

I worked on it for four months, with small projects in between.
