Notes

Got this yarn at a fabulous little shop whilst on vacation in Wisconsin!

Since there’s no dye lot and my skeins didn’t match exactly, I knit from both skeins at once on alternating rows. Had to be careful not to pull too tightly at the edge opposite the teeth, because of the alternating skeins thing, but it did work out and you can’t tell. Plus, that seems to have prevented any pooling. I ended up with about 10 grams left of each skein. I It has the prescribed 42 points, which makes it a nerdy HHG2G reference, but only in a secret sort of way!

I love the shape of this thing! It’s got the quality of a lightweight scarf, but still enough of an interesting shape that you can wear it in clever ways.
