Notes

11.08.12:

I had almost finished the first section when I noticed a glaringly obvious mistake near the beginning. I don’t want to talk about it. Suffice to say, I frogged back to the start and have re-finished the first section, with one tiny mistake. I am NOT frogging again - not this part, at least.

The yarn is getting better and better. Amazing colour and even softer and springier. Incredible. 6 out of 5 stars.

Doing a YO between the first and last two stitches every RS row then dropping them every WS row.
Using Kfb instead of M1L & M1R - I found the M1s too fiddly in garter stitch
.

08.08.12:

After quite a few false starts (no red card, though) and taking my time to figure out what both best works for me and what I find aesthetically pleasing, I’m off.

My yarn order is Dingo (Butterscotch), Dingo and Sand (Buttermilk), Dingo, Sand and Ocean/Sky (Bluecrop). The colours definitely have a retro feel to them.

Breathless is beautiful. The first metre or so has held up to much knitting and frogging while I found my feet. Soft and springy with a subtle glow. Amazing.
