Hemlock Ring Update

I finished the vintage chart and am ready to move on to Jared's Feather and Fan increase chart! I have 31 days to finish for Mammay's birthday. This goal looks much more feasible with the tough middle behind me - a feeling which may fade as the circumference increases to a crazy size and each pair of rows takes many many minutes.

The other worry is the bind-off for me. On the Knit-A-Long group I've seen quite a few messages where people say things like, "Whew, ok I'm 2/3 of the way through the bind off now." Which means to me that this bind off is complicated and will take forever on many hundreds of stitches. I hope my circular is long enough for the outer realms of the blanket...
