Notes

Cast on 5x (plus two) more stitches than called for because I wanted to get rid of that weird hump that happens.

Changed eyelet panels to stockinette because I didn’t like the look of them in garter.

Nearly had this finished in 8 days, but I got a bad pain in my hand from the purl rows of the last eyelet section and had to put it down for a few days. The sliver yarn feels gorgeous in hank but it’s soooo touchy to tension (VERY stretchy!) and it was a real pain to purl the rows after the y/o rows.

Just need to weave ends and block! I’m so excited to see this one come out!!
