Love, love, love this. I used different yarn but it happened to be the same color as the picture (Wool Ease) so my first attempt was a little smaller. When I asked Christa for the measurements of hers, it was too small, So I frogged it and started over again. This pattern was so easy that I was able to complete my second attempt in one day. It is beautiful - and the perfect "mindless" pattern to work on while watching TV.
