Notes

The yarn was bought to make a sweater but when I saw this pattern, I could not resist!

Nov 15 - cast on and began chart 1. Took it to an evening out at the pub and found the chart easy enough to knit while chatting with others. Zipped through the first 29 rows without incident.

Took it on a trip to Spain with me Dec 5-21 and progressed through at least 2 charts

Got sidetracked at the beginning of January with a New Beginnings KAL but since I was so close to finishing, got back to this.

Jan 16 - bind off with Jenny’s Super Stretchy Bind Off

Unblocked measurements: 25” x 53” (65cm x135 cm)
