I am happy that I decided to knit it in the round. I purl so slowly. I made a faux seem and dropped the seam stitch and picked up 2 for 3 but not sure that this yarn lends itself to this technique. The seam may be a “design element” or I might go back and mattress stitch it later. Will look at the ease and decide.
Update - I love this gold on others but somehow it just doesnt look that good on me. I love the top so I went ahead and dyed it orange with Kool-Aid. Love it now! You should knit this!! :)
