And a final comment from Cathi...
I do hope you have enjoyed this Knit a Long! Since I have gotten only a couple of questions in the past three weeks I am under the assumption that you have found this pattern easy to follow and you are just sailing along! Good for you!
I do hope to see some of your finished or WIP's on our FB page...it's always fun to see the end results!
As always, it has been my pleasure. Happy Spring and Happy Knitting!
