I do these the opposite of the pattern because the original patter that I got from a friend was to do 4, 6, then 8. This pattern calls for 8, 6, 4. I’m not sure it matters all that much, but I wanted to mention it.

McNeedles only had 3 skeins left of this purple Ariosa and I should have chosen a different yarn or a different color so I could have used 4 skeins. Yarn and color are really pretty, I would have liked to have it a little longer.
