Here’s my “in progress” picture for you guys.

This is the 4th time I’ve started this project since my friend asked if I would test a pattern for her. The first two times were frogged due to my gauge being quite off from what was suggested in the pattern. While the third one was frogged after I tried to tighten up my stitching, much to the unhappiness of my hands. I got in about 4 rows of that and decided it would be better to just change hook sizes. After checking it again I am actually still off. However, it’s in the sense that my rows don’t add up to the 4 inches they should. No worries, I think a bit of blocking will help fix that. It just won’t be perfect to the original gauge.
