B: Good Ole Days
C: Magnet and Steel

This thing is going to be huge. I’ve enjoyed working with colors outside my comfort zone, but at a family get together I noticed that my tall, blonde cousin wears these colors. This will go to her. I love it. It’s incredibly warm, and it’s very large. And I’ve only just finished the sixth wedge. It’ll look great on Amber.

Nah…no way I’m giving this one up. I think it’s my favorite FO. It rests so lovingly around my shoulders. It’s like wearing a hug from a favorite person.

237 grams when complete.

Definitely hit a wall at the sixth wedge, but I powered through and finished a bit sooner than I thought.

Don’t think I’ll be giving this one up.

60” x 19” at the deepest point, before blocking. Will lightly block to smooth out the wedges.

First four photos are after a light steam block. Don’t want it any bigger than it is.

The drape with Plucky Bello is wonderful. 15 Pluckies #3
