Notes

Knitting this one just for the sake of wanting a lacy hat out of this yarn - no idea who it will end up going to!

Changed the ribbing to 3x1 because I hate 1x1, and made sure that the purl columns in the lace lined up with the ribbing.

I knit from both ends of the ball in four row stripes, to break up any blocks of colour in the handspun. Because this is a very tonal yarn it doesn’t end up looking “stripey” but is much more even overall than it would have been otherwise. This is one of my favourite handspun tricks :)
