Maplewing is finally and officially a finished object!
There were a few modifications to the pattern: the yarn used has a finer gauge that what was recommended, so I used US 2.5s instead of US 5s. Since I had a shorter row gauge, but still had quite a bit of width, there is an additional repeat of chart B, and I used a double-stranded German twisted cast-on.The edges were intentionally blocked asymmetrically to mimic a Maple Leaf. What do you think - did it work?
