After seeing the suggestion in another Raveler’s project notes, I made these a little longer than the original pattern, casting on 40 stitches (k6 p23 k11). That length was perfect for me. And I’m very happy with the yarn and color.

This is one of my first projects and I’m a VERY slow knitter, so it took me a long time even though the pattern was, true to its name, pretty easy.
