It's finished! I'm hoping that the recipient will let me take a pic of her wearing it so I can share it with you. I thought I made the buns a little bit too low...not sure though, so I'll get her opinion before I take it apart.

I learned a new technique with this project called Magic Loop (see small diameter knitting). Normally, when you knit something in the round that is small, you don't use circular needles but double pointed needles. However, if you have an interchangeable needle and cable set along with long enough cables, you can simply use those. It worked really nicely when I was making the buns, however, I thought my stitches could have been neater when I was using the larger sized needles. That's not the technique's fault, just mine for lack of experience.

EDIT: I never gave credit to the source of the pattern. That would be Ansleybleu who has an Etsy shop with the pattern for sale.
