Sort of Simply Chintz

I hadn't planned on repeating Simple Lines quite so soon, but yarn made from Nunoco or Spin Jones  batts is the star and needs to be highlighted.

Knitting proceeded apace, and three quarters of the way through I discovered I hadn't been following the pattern at all, really.  I also discovered that one of the errors I made would result in unreinforced eyelets.  Frogging commenced, nearly back to the beginning, and reknitting, only to discover that I still wasn't following the pattern exactly.  It doesn't matter, really, because I like the result, and the recipient was thrilled.

One thing I did differently is that I ran a row of single crochet back along the edges.  To me, it looks more finished.

As always, colors are a tricky thing.  Here's a photo that better shows its true color:

Funny story: recipient lives in the south and actually had snow in her area in January.  Had I not made the error that I did, she would have had it at the end of that month.  As it was, she received it at the end of February.  She travels, so I hope she finds it useful.
