The plan is totally working.  Just as important, all the math indicates that I’ll be able to make the cowl significantly wider (by keeping the mitts tiny…tiny but awfully cute).  So as long as I can keep from tangling the various bits and pieces of the project, everything should come together well.

And apparently this morning the yarn is purple.  I’ve simply embraced the changing nature of this fabric and I’m no longer fighting it.  I swear I’m setting my white balance and I’m in decent light.  I think it’s just the yarn’s magic resisting the camera’s technology.  I’m letting the magic win.
