I loved this pattern. It was fun to do. I did not follow the pattern color chart and used my own design for colors for each octagon. My main color was sable and I did not use sable for any of the last two rows for the octagons. I also used main color for two sc rows for the edging. I love the yarn. It has 15% mohair for a soft fuzzy feel. I lost count of the yarn used. My quantities may be off. Next time I would like to try a superwash wool.
