I can’t explain it but there is no way I can not NOT knit this. So it’s in the queue as a some day. When I feel less like my credit card is going to spontaneously combust.

9/9/12- Proposed this for my BROOM in the HPKCHC
I am considering submitting this for consideration as an Order of the Phoenix mission for the HPKCHC Fall 2012 term

10/10/12- Finally got ‘round to casting this on! The waistband is the first bit to knit and it reminds me of everything I love about knitting. I find cables deeply satisfying and the leaf pattern is interesting but uncomplicated. Hoping I will be on to the 2nd half of the waistband by tonight

10/12/12- Started the lower body. I’m a little nervous about the fit but LOVE the pattern so far

11/11/12- It’s DONE! More importantly, it FITS! And I love it as much as I did when I first saw it!
