I ended up using 28 different yarns — more than in the pattern, so I just adjusted the striping sequence where needed. It does make for rather a lot of ends, but I love the result. I worked towards the speckles on both halves, and used the same speckly skein on both so they match where they meet, though I also had pinkier and greenier speckles to ease from the saturated tonals into the speckles.

I actually prefer the “wrong” side, where the stripes blend together even more thoroughly than on the “right” side.

I am grafting this rather than doing a 3-needle bind-off; I prefer the smoother and more reversible join.
