Notes

After 4 or 5 false starts, I found gurnard’s “unchart” at http://www.box.net/shared/9icclefjlr and started again for the last time. This project, in all it’s glory, FLEW! It went SO fast and was quite enjoyable. I encourage the use of the unchart, it made it truly a fun knit. I will definitely be making it again.

I was however, disappointed in the way this yarn worked up. It lost some of the shiny slickness that was so appealing in the hank. It came out rather fuzzy and worn looking. If any of that changes after blocking, I will revise my comments.

No change after blocking. Also it came out smaller than I anticipated. The stitch size was nice; so next time I’ll use larger needles or thinner yarn. Color is truest in the 3rd and 4th pictures.
