Yarn: Cascade 220 100% wool, in Christmas Heather 

Needles: 4.5mm / US 7

Gauge: not sure - I'll measure after its been blocked after blocking, its 4.25 st x 7 rows per inch

Stitch Pattern: Classic swirl

Comments:  Casting eight stitches on to four dpns after two glasses of wine is not always the best combination.  I think next time I'd use the pinhole cast-on that I used the other day - its much neater, and easier to do!
PS: Red does not photograph well, especially when pinned to a yellow board!  This is one photo that I will be replacing in the morning!  Photo replaced Jan 27/11
