Here are the specs:
Pattern: Ribbon X-back from Knitty
Yarn: Katia Cindy (main color), TLC Cotton Plus (stripe)
Needles: Size 3
Total stitches: 26,148
Total time: About 25 hours
Did I learn anything? Well, it was my first time doing something in the round with no seaming, and I used a three-needle bind-off for the first time. And there was the matter of adjusting the pattern to match my yarn gauge. That part went really well; the measurements are what the pattern says they should be, but the problem is that I should have built some negative ease into the thing. Duh. I spent some time fixing the size problem this morning, and now it fits. It's officially, for real, no kidding, DONE.
Now, I just need to wait for warm weather. :)

Looks great! Congratualtions.
You didn't learn the "negative ease" thing from watching me frog mine? =)
Seriously, though - it looks great! I definitely like the white stripe.
