oooh i really like the colourway hun! i have been doing joeli's pattern and must say, it's not as daunting as it looks, i never follow patterns for anything and found it okay. the worst bit was the short rows, but after being pointed in another direction on them they were fine. got some wool sorted, from the lovely lady at snugglebots, complete star she is
so all's cool. am thinking of trying to start some scrappies soon maybe, i got a fair few different scrap bits now.
best thing to do with the pattern is jump right in. i found writing down how many of each line i'd done on the gusset increases helpful, mainly coz it's not quiet here in the easter holidays!
