I finished this up last weekend. I used up all by 1.5 grams of the Nightrain, and all but 4.1 grams of the Tupelo Honey. The colors really glow in the natural light. Now I need to update the pattern and test it with my other two colors so I can send it back to the designer and hope that she accepts it in the spirit it is intended. It is a fun pattern.
Blocking was pretty straight forward. With slip stitch edges I sometimes worry about the edges being too tight, but this one blocked pretty easily and without distortion. I pinned out the top edge first and then the left edge (the bound off edge) and then worked may way back to the starting point. I did have to do some adjustments, but not too much.
