Notes

Update: Well, I did it, and it looks pretty good to me. I’m going to hate giving away this gift.


I don’t know if this has ever been attempted before, but I’m going to try to make a BSJ in the round AND in a fair isle/stranded pattern.

Yes, I do feel a bit bonkers to even attempt such a thing but I’m giving it a shot anyway.
