This is a fun project that knits up simply and beautifully. People who hate weaving in ends, beware! There is a LOT of them in this.
I deviated from the colorways given in the pattern because I didn't have as many colors, but I love the end results and they compliment my parents' bathroom beautifully. Be warned, the yarn required ended up being a lot less than the yarn called for in the pattern - I had half skeins of everything left over.
Definitely recommended for a beginner who wants to get their feet wet!
