Got to rnd 58 and realized my colors weren’t matching Patricia’s photos. After contacting her, she said she had posted 6 rows incorrectly, starting with rnd 44. So I’ll be spending today (3/18/15) ripping out 14 rounds, which will take some time, since parts 5 & 6 ends have already been woven in!

4/23/15
Once Part 15 came out, I had to re-do rows 96 & 97 so that I’d have the same color “ridge” on row 97 as I had on row 90. Row 96 I re-did as double crochet instead of single crochet so the butterfly band would look more balanced vertically once I re-did row 97 in Soft White (for the ridge) in half double crochet.
