Notes

08-08-2010: I like to practice lace patterns in heavier yarns with fewer repeats so I can learn the pattern before committing to the huge project on tiny needles with lace weight yarn.

I watched the Medlock kids one friday night and refused payment, but Laurabeth was wily. She asked around and then bought me a gift certificate to the yarn store. I accepted the gift certificate and immediately starting plotting to buy yarn and knit a scarf for Laurabeth.

9/22/2010: Cast off after trying the knit on border many times. It was simply too heavy. Now all I need to do is block and gift!

9/24/2010: Blocking measurements: 50 inches long, 7 inches wide

9/28/2010: Decided it looked too plain, too unfinished even after the blocking and so I fringed it. Huge improvement. Looks so much better.
