I finally finished it! It took me two weeks to block it, only because I didn’t want to stop wearing long enough to block it:
Pattern: Ella (from Knitty)
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Lion & Lamb in Gold Hill
Needles: size 10.5 circular, 29″
Yardage: Approximately 630 yards (3 1/4 skeins)
Gauge: 4.5 sts/inch
Modifications: used a worsted weight instead of DK weight yarn
It’s a bit of a blanket, but I’m proud of it all the same. The pattern is just beautiful… I love it so and it is soft soft soft!

Beautiful!!! I’m just imagining how soft that must be, blanket or no!

That is gorgeous — beautiful colour, beautiful knitting! (Shh, don’t tell Wendy, but I think yours is prettier than the original!)

I just love it when I see a pattern I wouldn’t have considered become completely drool-worthy when someone knits it up. Nice!
