I finished it! and it turned out wonderfully!! :) I had a few bumps and bruises along the way (like my horribly skipped stitches on the binding). But I got them figured out and it has been mailed and is *safely* on its way to its new home! I can't wait to hear how it is received! :)
the binding
I was nervous about my spacing of stitches, but I really like how the texture came out after washing it! :)
Neil decided to start making funny faces while he was holding it for me, thinking I wouldn't notice. ha.
