Finished. Finally. Love. It was a bit of indulgence to take the time to knit a pattern I did not write, but lessons were learned.

1. Never leave home without a row counter.

2. If you're going to leave a project on the shelf for 18 months,, take good notes before setting aside (including needle size and last row knit) and pin it to the garment.

3. Brush hair before photo shoot. Or at least look in a mirror.
