1/5/13 I laid this aside for the summer and then came back to it, so it took longer than it otherwise would have, but I’m happy with the result.

This pattern is great. Easy knitting, but not dull. I don’t have to reference the pattern. I’m using it mostly as a take-along project and have not been in a hurry to finish it. It’s still coming along pretty fast for the amount of knitting in it, though. I’m using some rough, stiff vintage wool that I inherited and it is perfect for this project.
