The ruined capecho, take 1

Capecho project A is no more. I say "A" because I had to scrap it and am now working on B. B is going splendidly, though, and is progressing much faster than A. It turns out that Vogue Knitting described the pattern incorrectly, saying it was "close-fitting," which led me to make it a size larger. For some reason, going a size larger ended up adding about 10 inches of circumference to the project. WTF? Grrr. Anyway, Rudy loves Capecho A. It makes for a warm blanket.
