Revontuli









Yarn: Crazy Zauberball by Schoppel-Wolle purchased at Sophie's Yarn shop






8/29/10 Cast on, this yarn has the coolest colors.



Pattern calls for size 5.5mm/9U.S. needles, I got a real sloppy fabric, so started over with size 5 U.S. and have a nicer fabric.



9/2/10 finished!! Not quite enough yarn, had to wrap it up ten rows early. These colors are awsome.
