So... i was fast running out of wool with just 2 rows (i miscounted!) and the crochet cast off to go, i picked up a ball of Sirdar Snuggly in a toning colour and then an Angel offered me a skein of unknown Posh in pale greens (i forgot to photograph it though! DOH!) so my plan originally was jus to use one or the other to finish the edging... Unfortunately i just know that i wouldn't have been happy with that so what i decided to do instead was to cut off the border and use the wool from the main body to finish off the edging!!
I started last night and got into a small pickle when i realised i hadn't picked up across the whole row but had jumped up a row instead but i got it under control and now my only problem is the edges and one set of YOs in the middle that i seem to have missed :o/

I'm hoping i will be able to fix that when i knit the body back on though...
I knew this was the right pattern for this wool, i think it looks stunning, i just can't believe i've had such a palaver with it!!

"cut the yarn???...CUT THE YARN???" she raised her voice at the mere suggestion & low n behold :-)
HAHAAH!!
I know, i was so scared though but it's the right thing to do, there was no way i'd have frogged it and started again or been happy with the "wrong" colour edging!
