As suggested by the shop help I used a heavier yarn than the book suggested so that I did not have to knit 2 skeins together on my second project!

I had to ribbit twice at the beginning and once halfway through. Ugh.

But I am finished and only a few mistakes… but I’ll allow them since this is my second project!

I will say that I wish I’d used a wool that wasn’t so stripey but more oatmeal flecked like the book example. I’m not a huge fan of the purl side looking too much like the WS and I think its due to the verigated yarn. HOWEVER, this yarn is gorgeous. The colours, the feel. I have 2.5 balls left and will find something to do with it. :)
