Notes

I’m using all the yarns doubled for a quick knit. I got all these yarns except the Yummy at KAN in NZ a few years ago, but I’ve decided they have marinated long enough. I’m really pleased at the way they’re all coming together.

And in May 2014 this project has gone on hold because I have run out of the Shibui sock i want to use for the bands. A nice lady in Germany, Telse, is going to send me some, so I will have to wait until it arrives.

So now it is done!!! Perfect buttons from the button shop. Nice!
