I finished this up last Sunday. I am pretty pleased with how it came out. It is a hefty blanket, and my gauge is not perfect, but not bad, especially considering I only did a gauge swatch on the first pattern. The rest I just winged it, going up or down a needle size depending on what the pattern was and how it felt as I was knitting. It did cause me to have to rip back a couple of times when I realized the knitting was too loose, but I didn’t mind that. Jezebel has photo bombed to apply her seal of approval on the project. I think if I were to knit this pattern again I would knit it at a tighter gauge. It just feels a little too stretchy to me (an effect of the fact that the yarn is superwash, perhaps). I never had any issues with running out of yarn on any of the sections. I do like the design, and it was a fun project.
