I did make one small change to the pattern and that was in the edging. Instead of knitting the edging with US8 needles like the pattern suggested, I decided to go down to a US6 to give the garment a bit more structure and help prevent some of the drooping created by heavy cotton fabrics.
I highly recommend this pattern, especially after seeing it on several body types on Ravelry. It is a fairly simple pattern and the lace work is easy. I might knit another one for myself before next Spring.
The big question remains: Will I ever block the Hemlock Ring afghan? Stay tuned for the answer.
