The yarn was NOT fun to work with in the beginning but I got used to it. I was worried about blocking it because I wasn't sure what would happen. Blocking did wonders for the stitches. They lay much nicer now and the hubs loves it.

The knitting was finished for this way back in October. The seaming of the shoulders took forever. It also took forever just to find some buttons. I'm still not quite happy with the ones I had to settle for. This was definitely a learning experience. I have learned that patterns with set-in sleeves, are ones I need to stay away from!!

This was a fun knit. I would've finished it sooner had I not changed my mind after I had already started chart B in the small size. It looked way too small so I ripped back to the stockinette part and opted to do the large version. Once I got to the lace charts, near the very end, I knew I was going to run out of yarn! So there was a yarn emergency as well. All in all, it turned out fantastic and it's all because of the yarn!

I did 45 pattern repeats rather than the stated 30. I wish I had done a few more repeats to make it a tad longer.

I had to do some creative knitting with this hat. I was housesitting when I finished it and had forgotten to pack my little knitting kit so I was without a needle and a crochet hook for the grafting of the hat!!! I found a needle and was able to graft the stitches but had to use a safety pin (or maybe it was a push pin!) to weave in the ends! Whew.
