The clap trap...

I'm done with all the increases and have started dropping stitches :D I'm on the third straight repeat now, but I seem to have stalled a bit...which I really can't afford to do. I think it's that it's becoming a little unwieldy to carry around in my knitting pouch now. It's poking out the top a bit and I'm worried it's going to get snagged in my bag. I'm also nearing the end of the ball of yarn, and faced with the prospect of winding another 300m skein, I'm...slowing...down...

It /is/ lovely...and it will be huge. I did 8 increase repeats, plus the half the pattern calls for. I think it should comfortably go from neck to below the hips when it's finished...each stitch drop makes it even wider too.
