Cast on yesterday for the MEGAN, only I'm using LANG POLAR in blue on US 10.5 needles, so I had to rework the pattern to fit the smaller gauge (who knew math would come in handy in real life???). Keep your fingers crossed. Who knows how this will turn out.... 
This is my first foray into Yarn Overs. I'm hooked. Took me a couple of froggings to get it right. FUN FUN! What pretty stitches I've created. I'm so excited!!! The photos don't show it, but I'm an expert Yarn Over-er now! Can't stretch out the yarn over the short needle or everything will drop right off the end. Oh, and the pattern calls for knitting this in one piece but I'm doing it in two. No way I could fit the entire circumference of this thing (52" around the bottom) on my 12-inch straights. Tried knitting on circulars first and even flexibles after the second froggin', but this was a disaster waiting to happen. I need some honkin' 20" straights for this to be comfortable. Can't wait to be able to stretch this puppy out and admire my lovely YO's!!!
Caveat: This was supposed to be a Christmas present for someone else, but I like it so much I'm giving it to myself -- that is, until I try it on and discover I look like the Liberty Bell or something....
