Notes

8/15/15 Done! This was quick and easy. The yarn is super soft, if a little splitty. The only issue I had was starting the third color. I started it at the same place as the second color but I should have staggered it to halfway around that round instead. It made a little hole just above the ribbing but I was able to smooth it out almost completely when I wove in the ends (shown in the fourth photo from the bottom). I’ll remember for next time!

8/14/15 Cast on for this three times before keeping it. I used Tillybuddy’s very stretchy cast on. The helix bit is a little tricky to get used to, but it’s turning out pretty cool so far. The pics don’t show the lilac color accurately. It’s much closer to purple than blue.
