2/1/11 Now the flower is added. Easy to make - less than one day; and came out nicely. Size seems like it will be right and, except for ME casting on too tight, it went well.
I liked the yarn also and found it great for a child’s outerwear. I had no problem with splitting, as a few had mentioned.

1/31/11 Only real issue was that, to save “tail” while CO, I did it very tight and had problem k2tog first row. Note to self: read directions for round 1 before CO and CO accordingly.
Haven’t done flower yet.
