I fell in love with it and ran to John Lewis on Bond Street to buy the yarn, the crochet hook came from Scotland and the
pattern from Yorkshire...
And I got started straight away. Took me a week (had to go to Brussels for work in-between and forgot the project at home), and it was all worth it!
I changed the edging as you can see, it hides the (many) mistakes I made especially at the beginning. Do mark the last stitch of each row, it is worth it. I LOVE the yarn (Rowan Kidsilk aura - shade 768) but it is unforgiving, you make a mistake, you live with it... But it so soft and warm, that I felt compelled to buy more yarn...I am just weak.
