Notes

The sideways garter stitch gradually increasing striped section knits up really fast. I’ve done about 17” in a couple of hours. The colours of the indy-dyed yarns are contrasting but complimenting beautifully. I can’t wait to wear this scarf.

Got bogged down as the garter-st section grew so put down for a month or so. Restarted early Sept with a determined push to get over the middle and down the other side. Lace was then very quick (worked to R11 of Chart C to maximise yarn usage). Finished in ~10days total with a big gap.

Love the colours, much more subtle than i usually go for. A beautiful autumnmal wrap.
