Notes

It’s gorgeous! Or is it my One True that’s gorgeous? I have STACKS of Brownie points now, and I know how to use them!
NOTES: I don’t understand why you need to do the waste yarn thing at the beginning? Why not just CO the appropriate amount of stitches, then work up to the row of Pearl and on to the Fair Isle? (The row of Pearl is brilliant! I didn’t get it at first, but it makes the fold really crisp).
Also, I didn’t understand how to neatly sew the loops of the last row (as done per pattern) so I cast off and stitched it down. At first I stitched it into the back of the knitting, but it showed on the right side… not as a colour… but as an indentation. So I caught it down into the yarn that was carried across, if you know what I mean.
Having said that… it’s just gorgeous. Hats off to Adrian Bizilia!! I’m hugely impressed with the technical skill of the design.
Stay Classy!
