Test completed. The edge curls in a tiny bit, but no more than the usual nature of knitting. The corner is fine. The designer is vindicated.
I am proceeding with confidence and determination on the edge.
Except that now I am concerned about running out of yarn. I bought this yarn years ago in Poland. Even with the magic of the Internet and Ravelry, finding another randon skein is next to impossible. Running out is NOT an option.
I had 5 skeins to begin with, 1250 meters in total. The body took about 2 1/2 skeins. Except that I have learned my lesson (though apparently not well) about yardage sucking edges.
22 inches down the first short side. 13 inches down the first long side. I have used up approximately half a skein of yarn. There is remaining: another 57 inches to long side #1, 22 inches to short side #2, and 70 inches of long side #1. I have completed 19 percent of the edge, and used 20 percent of the available yarn. (Assuming my math is correct. . . . Always a dangerous assumption.)
This is going to be close.
Today, it is all about dangling over the edge.
