Notes

I bought this pattern at The Yarn Patch - they have the best demo projects ever! It was gorgeous and knitted with Claudia, so I bought the pattern, and went online to find what I thought would be the perfect color to complement this really beautiful pattern.

So far it’s been really straight forward to knit. I am concerned that only doing 6 repeats will not be enough, so I may add in a few reps. Plus, I’m supposedly 1/3 of the way through and I still have tons of yarn! (I bought 5 skeins originally.) Will update as I move along!

3/10 Ahh! Where did time go? It’s been a long time since I started this - got engaged during the project and so it slowed down lots temporarily!

I did a total of 8 repeats…STILL a little short, but I just was concerned I wouldn’t have enough yarn. Otherwise I would have done 9 repeats. Three needle bind off worked a charm. I’d recommend going up a needle in the arm bind off. Not terrible, but not stretchy enough either. I also cast on for the middle size. LOVE IT!
