1/12/17 Done except for blocking. It’s much smaller than I was anticipating. I will have to block it aggressively to get it where I want it :( Otherwise, it looks awesome and I love it.

12/26/16 It’s hard to get a sense of what percent of the pattern I’ve made it through, but I’m guessing about 10-15% or so. I love the colors of the Sparkle yarn and how they’re working up. It’s a tricky colorway to photograph. It’s red with tones of pink and coral/orange as well as a darker mulberry.

That said, the Sparkle is a little odd to work with. It feels fairly soft and like it will have a nice drape once blocked, but it’s a little rough to work with, somehow. There’s a slight unevenness to it, as well. I really like the sparkle--the color is dyed into the stellina (or whatever it is) which is a nice touch. Overall, I think I’m going to be very happy with the finished product but the process of getting there isn’t as enjoyable as some.
