Mitered Corner - Not Short Rows

After hours of searching, I was unable to come up with a mitered corner knit in long rows not short ones.

The Hue Shift Afghan has you picking up 250 stitches along one side, 250 along the other, and then 270 along the remaining two, which is great and all, but, for me, that is not the look I would want to go for in a  finished edge, sorry, I am just picky.

Short rows also seems like an option, but going back and forth on 20 stitches, for 250 rows and around a corner does not appeal, and with my luck I would most certainly end up messing something up and the edges would not be the same.

Now you are asking what are you trying achieve?
An edge, knit in long rows that manages to turn a corner. Is that too much to ask?

So here goes, my theory is pick up 250 stitches, KFB on the first and the last stitch of every right side row, and hope it turns into a 45 degree angle corner. - This worked perfectly so just ignore my other theory.

My other option is pickup 250 stithces, KFB on the first and last stitch of every row, but I am thinking that this will be too much of an increase and not give me the correct angle.

So to test I plan on casting on 10 stitches, and testing out both methods before starting on the actual insanity of doing this for real.

I would have had this blanket finished if it were not for the small fact that I read three books this month, so I only have myself to blame and the books did need reading.
