Ended up swapping out the light pink Casbah with the leftover Birthday Cake Hedgehog Fibres Sock from my sock head hat. I think it looks much cuter now!

I also completely forgot to use the smaller needles for the ribbing at the end. No big deal.

I liked this pattern a lot, but by the lace I was SOOO ready for it to end. I resisted binding off early, but really wanted to.

If I were to knit this again I’d probably shorten the band lengths and use more of my leftover sock yarns to add even more color.

I’m going to try and squeeze a pair of socks out of the Destiny yarn because it was so lovely to work with. The Casbah was also wonderful, but I’m not sure I’ll have enough for a full pair of socks. Perhaps I’ll try for some Rose City Rollers.

Overall, super pleased with the finished object- too bad it’s getting so warm now! I nearly overheated just trying it on! Ah, well- there’s always next year.
