aloha!

greetings from hawai'i!
i too was thrilled to see this great design on knitty and had to cast on immediately. instead of the suede, i'm using a slubby cotton from suss -- one strand of pale gray and another of a pale mauve/pink. my progress was moving along nicely until i decided to whip up a market bag for a last-minute present. at last i'm getting back to coachella. one issue that confounded me a bit was when rejoining the upper back to the front (after making the armholes), is the marker denoting the beginning of the round on the right or the left of the back stitches? wasn't clear on that but i don't think it matters much.
camera was accidentally left at the party with the market bag so the posting of pictures will have to wait.
