Notes

This site helped me with the palette: http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/214757/wine_in_a_pond

I got a 5 stitches/inch gauge with size 8s so I had to start over using 9s for the stockinette part of the body and 10.5s for the stranded area. My stranded knitting has a tendency to be tight. teehee
