Bought the yarn pack from:

It cost about $50CDN including shipping, took a week to arrive, and came beautifully packaged. The yarn is vibrant and soft, as you can expect from acrylic.

Completed part 4 tonight and relized that I should have switched to a larger hook after part 3! Oh well, I’ll switch for part 5.

My 3.75 hook is by Red Heart and I’m finding it splits the yarn. I’ve been looking forward to using my 4mm hook which is an Addi.

Finished the butterfly border. Now I’m making squares so I can lengthen it. I’ve got a good bit of yarn left over. I’m thinking I need six squares for width. I may go with 2 squares deep. Then I’ll put a border around the whole thing.

Fourteen squares worked. Turns out I need seven squares per side and yarn is running low. So that will be all.

I want to gift this to my mother-in-law Cynthia who is 94. She contracted pneumonia last week and is currently on antibiotics. I suddenly felt the need to complete this soonest, so once the squares were added, I put a border around the whole thing and called it done.

This project was a joy to work on in the depths of winter. I learned so much and had a lot of fun. I hope it cheers up Cynthia.
