Notes & Photo:
I love this pattern; am putting mine aside to start this one for H's birthday. Again using a sparkly yarn that just suits the pattern so well. Am hoping we get some cooler weather so I can work on it more consistently than I have worked on mine.

7/23: Completed row 144 on the bus ride to work this morning :) This afternoon is devoted to completing the right wing & getting some pictures :)
