Retropolitan Version 2.0 - Update

So, I started off with a ball of this...



(Wendy - Aran 'Heather': 400g)

...and it's done all of this!



I was thinking (based on the pattern requirements) that I would use closer to the two whole balls (of 'Heather'), even taking into account I added half a ball of blackberry to the mix.



...Still leaving all of this to contribute to the ribbing , for finishing it off.



And I still have one ball of each left in the 'orphan' box. The colours blend well. It could become a version of the "Bonnie" scarf maybe, or another cardi for a grandfather, or maybe I'll get a "Samus" (Knitty) out of each... can't make a decision until I've seen what is left.
