Notes

The bee is not afraid of me, I know // the butterfly; The pretty people in // the woods Receive me cordially.

The brooks laugh louder when I come, // The breezes madder play. Wherefore, // mine eyes, thy silver mists? // Wherefore, O summer’s day?

  • Emily Dickson

• Got gauge with US 3/3.25 mm needles. A wee bit smaller hexapuffs though (2.75” from tip to tip).

• Because my initial puffs came out a bit on the squat side, I’ve been adding an extra knit row after the cast on.

• Thinking of embroidering the things mentioned in the names of Tiny Owl Knits patterns - foxes, fawns, forget me nots, &c. Gotta have a queen bee too.

• Apparently, for a 48” x 72” quilt, I’m going to need 858 puffs. Calculations from here.
Status: As of Jan 2, 2012, I have 208 puffs.

Looking for the charts that used to be in my project photos? They’re all been lovingly bundled up into free downloadable pdf files that you can get from my pattern store! There’s even more charts in there than I originally posted!

Charts other than my own used:
