A beautiful colourful pattern, I particularly love the African design influence. Sublime! The pattern was mostly fine, not always the easiest to follow, e.g. directions for shaping one of the back shoulders. Also the pattern is a 29 row repeat, meaning that all knit/purl rows will alternate every other repeat. With such a complex pattern, an even number of rows would easily avoid this added complexity. Love the recommended yarn, but the colours are not quite as vibrant as in the ads. And a lot of weaving in! But hopefully worth it in the end.
