Well, I just finished this morning. I took the whole thing apart after
reading all of your suggestions here and started over again. Now it is a
full two skeins long in a wonderful looking seed stitch (which I had to do
several times before I got it right) and it lays flat and looks wonderful!
Now I have a spare skein to make one of those ear warmer thingies that goes
around the head!
Thanks for all of your help!
