Notes

The new Drops yarn “alpaca silk” is quite nice to knit and wear, even if for this first time I doubled it with some alpaca yarn (from Drops too).

It’s my fourth transatlantic, and even if I really like this clever pattern, it’s becoming quite boring. Yet I love the result, hope my step mother will like it too!

I made a few changes since I was using bigger yarn and needles, but didn’t take notes…
