Notes

This is a lovely, well-written pattern, which of course, I modified a bit as I was knitting it. I wanted to use the Colorchanges, which is bulkier, so I used a bigger needle. About 3/4 of the way down, I decided I wanted wings rather than just triangular, so I started increasing at both ends of every row, which I continued to the bind-off. Love it!
I started on a 24” needle, but when I started the “ruffle”, and doubled the stitches, I bought a 40” Addi Lace needle, yummy!
I do like the teal/turquoise colors, but decided I wanted to bring it more into my color range. The orange Cash Iroha, which I doubled, was a last minute decision with which I am very happy. I love the combination of the three colors, and the Citrus Manos? My absolute favorite of any of the Manos colors! I’ve been looking for an excuse to buy some!!!
