Notes

Ended up with like 90 stitches at the end of the neckline for some reason, but it works. Tried the i-cord but the yarn is so splitty that it’s not worth it. Will try wearing it with the rolling, and otherwise do a crochet finish like another reader mentioned.

Heidi showed me how to do a crab stitch - single crochet moving to the right. Blocking now…

9/2/17 Washed in Eucalan and boy it stretched out, but I love it! Very soft - I forgive the yarn for its splittiness now that it’s so awesome.
