Yes I started early. Our anniversary is April 14th by this calendar, so our taxes were filed long ago and I desired comfort. :D We owed this year so into the stash I dove and chose a yarn that brings me comfort. It will also be quite practical as well, I will be able to wear it around the house (and at my desk) and not worry if the cat snuggles in and gets tangled or I spill coffee on myself.

notes:

• some notes on my cast-on variation with judy's magic cast-on.
• please do not forget to count the initial increase row in your total before setting up for straps. (xs = 22 yo before straps)
• 2013-05-14 FO photos are of it in its unblocked state. It is cold this morning and I am wearing it anyway.
