I finished Soleil!
The only negative - it is too large. It's supposed to be negative ease, and instead it has... MANY inches. Feh. That's what I get for not using the recommended yarn, I guess. And... well yes... my gauge magically changed somewhere above the lacework, and I didn't stop to check. SILLY ME. Ah well, I've only been knitting for a year and a half or so... I'm allowed to still make mistakes. :P
It is 100% cotton, too, so I will do some adventures in shrinkage. And if it doesn't fit after that... well, I totally have enough of the yarn to make another for me in a smaller size, and anyone reading who is larger than me and wants this one, make a claim. ;)
