First project I started without knitting a gauge swatch since I learned what a gauge swatch is. Turned out great though. Don't get me wrong, I got nowhere near gauge, but I knew my gauge would be loads bigger than what the pattern specified for and that I have a huge head, so it all turned out nice and cozy. Really liked this pattern, the instructions were clear and easy to follow, fun to knit, most of the time at least. There were some rows that consisted only of fiddling with the cable needle which is why it took so long; a full 11 days.
One thing I have to say is that never ever attempt this project without a cable needle! It's a must have anyways, but for this project it's a live or die thing.
