If you love it, you CAN make it.  And in the case of this particular design by Kate Oates, you get some extra help - in the form of brilliant tutorial links, right there in the pattern - and in the Spincycle yarn itself, which produces the stunning fade effect of the birds-and-hearts motif with much less effort.So...why the heck not? Why not make this piece that...
