Notes

12/20 - FINALLY finished this today. It took me FOREVER. Part of the problem was that I only have one set of size 10 circular needles, so I had all of the stitches squished on it. In the picture, the stripes in the body look weird and zig-zaggy but they’re straight in real life, it’s just the way the needles were pulling them as I pinned it out to dry. I remember hating this yarn, but I washed it before wrapping it up (I may or may not have been eating a piece of cheesecake and got a bit of cherry on the backside, which totally washed out by the way) and it’s quite soft. I think my parents will love it.

10-08 - started knitting this up yesterday. I’m trying to make it pretty big for the back of my parents couch. Gotta love holiday knitting!

Mods:
I doubled the entire area of the body. When it came time to pick up stitches, I picked up 110 stitches from each edge. When it came time to bind off, each side had about 145 stitches.
