Thank you

I used 16 colours in total and it weighs 625g - some colours used nearly 50g some I have a bit more left. I brought the yarn in bits and pieces mainly when Amanda traded on e-bay.

I still have quite a bit of yarn left - I'm tempted to have a go at a crochet version may be - or I am toying with the idea of a Feather and Fan pattern - changing the colours every 4 rows in line with pattern repeat.

The pattern was inspired by the hoodie pattern out of Baby Bloom (which I am now tempted do one in All Seasons for the summer), although I followed Graffitti as it was the right weight.

Sooo many things I want to knit - need to give up work Laughing
