Thank you!! It was my first go, and I learned the following things:
1. Read the pattern. Read it again. Put the needles DOWN, and read it again again. 2. Spit splicing tastes a lot like owning a cat. 3. Felting is very kind, if you have room for shrinkage.
I frogged this three times, because of my failure to learn thing #1. I was attempting to carry the brown yarn across the back of the circles, and do only the CIRCLES in intarsia. The instructions *actually* said to carry the brown yarn UP between the first row of circles and the second row, rather than starting all new bobbins.
I'd be happier overall if I hadn't used the variegated as the MC, but I didn't choose the colors. And because I didn't choose the colors, it's looking for a new home. :)
