Notes

Knit the first two clues on track with the KAL, but then put it aside for other projects. I finally hunkered down and finished it.

I plan to take this to the office and wrap up in it when the AC is cranked too high. I blocked it as big as I absolutely could so that it would be almost like a small blanket to wrap up in.

I got very lucky with my color selection. I wasn’t sure that it would come together because it was hard to picture how the colors would play together without knowing the the pattern in advance.

I went with the hedgehog fibers lace weight mohair rather than the fingering weight called for by the pattern. I love the way it makes the fuzzy sections a little lighter and more ephemeral. 10 of 10, great knit!
