Notes

11-11-2017

Next time you make this, cut 2-3 rows off the ribbing on each end to save yarn because you have just enough to make this again with the red and white Koigu remaining. In fact, consider cutting out one of the white knit rows at the top end (like R82)…

And another Koigu fail - though I want to love this yarn - the red bled into the white and now my project is red and pale pink. Oh well…

The problem with Koigu is that, when it’s good, it’s awesome, but the yarn just washes/wears completely inconsistently.
