The colours are glorious, the texture soft and cuddly, the fit just right and the knitting addictive. A knitter's perfect combo.
The pattern calls for 86 wedges but at about 10 wedges, I realized I had the beginnings of a hat. Seam the wedges into a circle, decrease for the top and voila -a hat. If I'm lucky, there might be enough left-over yarn to do just that.
At about 25 wedges, you have a once-around-the-neck mantle-like scarf that lies exactly where warmth is needed under a winter coat. But perhaps a bit too 'little-old-lady-like' for me. (Denial, I know)
At the recommended 86 wedges, I think I will have a fashion-smart, twice-around warp that hangs gracefully down the front of whatever I might be wearing. Here I have exactly half. 43 wedges and you can see that fashion-smart hang taking shape.
Still in love here.

understandably in love - that is a stunning project, and one I have bookmarked, after seeing yours!
I loved making that project. It's a lot of fun. Yours is looking beautiful.
In my studies of the pattern, I learned that the yarn that you will run out of first is the edging. So I made my outside fat edge 10sts wide instead of 12. It gave me extra yarn to go the distance width.
Does Fred know that in his absence you're spending so much time with Stephen? ;)
Oh it's stunning!
Very pretty!

Really beautiful, Brenda. I'm thinking about it myself.
