Oh, now THAT is a tortured pun!! I just took Lilli Pilli off the blocking board and I think it is a success! I used stash yarn (again!! Good for me!): Grinning Gargoyle Seda Sock, Color: Storm, and a special purchase of Phydeaux Joie Fingering, Color: Spring Lake. Spring Lake was a special colorway for Coldwater Collaborative, now called BE. at Lakeside. They dyed 4 colors, one for each season on Lake Minnetonka. Spring is the only color I bought, but I thought it looked so pretty with Storm. The shape and length is similar to Time Trades, which I LOVE!
The pattern calls for three colors, but I only used two. Several people did that. By making it narrower you have enough yarn. See my Ravelry project notes for details!!
This thing was a total slog: acres of garter!! So slow. So boring. I think it will look cute with a crisp white shirt in the summer to stave off air conditioning. That seems very far away today with below zero temps!!
Those colors are perfect together.

Stunning. Some of the most beautiful knitting designs are slogs. Unfortunately. Congratulations for sticking with it.
