Notes:
I'm a perfectionist. Even when I just wanted to get the darned thing done and out of my hair, when I realized that I'd done two rows upside down (believe me, you'd need to look to see them, and even then you'd wonder what the fuss was), I just had to rip out the seams and redo them.

I made up for it (sort of), by putting only one row of sc around the edge. But even so, it took me a full skein and a bit of a second.
