Notes

Using up some sportweight yarns:

three partial skeins of blues, a partial of Caron Wintuk ‘Holiday Green’ and two full skeins of Red Heart Super Sport ‘Paddy Green’ plus one variegated - Patons Look at Me! in the ‘Good Sports’ color way. Sadly, this happy yarn was discontinued in 2004.

I referred to my blog notes on last October’s sport ripple, Icy Blue Mint and using a G hook made 154 stitches in my beginning chain, just like last time. I thought I had an ounce of yarn to spare, but something went awry. I ran out at 36x42, two inches wider, but many inches shorter than Icy Blue!

Still, as a laprobe, Parrots will be perfect as a Bingo prize for the local nursing home’s monthly game night.
