Yay, I've finally joined the Forest Canopy gang!  This is my first one, probably won't be my last.  It's a birthday present for my mother.  The yarn is Fleece Artist Seawool in Seashore - I did start the Bordello socks in this last year, but changed my mind about what to do with the yarn and chose FCS instead  Very Happy

Thank you!   Very Happy

CJ, I had quite a bit left over.  Sorry, I don't have scales, but the leftover ball is about 3inches in diameter.  I did the pattern as set, but I might have had enough for another pattern repeat  Confused  Might not though, so don't hold me to it!  Definitely had plenty of yarn to make one exactly as the pattern though, on 4.5mm needles  Very Happy
