My fingers hurt a bit after working on this all evening. Not sure if its the needle size (haven’t worked on 8s in a while and they feel huge in my hands) or the yarn. I know some people say that cotton makes their hands hurt.

Done! Need to block at some point to deal with the curly on the cast-on edge, but having too much fun wearing it right now.

I knit 5 repeats of the pattern (minus the cable row on the last repeat) and ended up with it being 6” tall and 17” around, preblocking.
