Yep! Round and true! Couldn't believe it!!! Just went round 2 turns, 2 turns, 2 turns, slowly, slowly, catch the monkey...and it all came together nicely.

I'm surprised how easy it was.  :)

Its hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like you might have forgoten to 'weave' the spokes under/over on the last cross.

I could be wrong, and it doesnt make that much diference really.
