Notes

Test for DarleenHopkins

Love this pattern, such simple stitches for such a lovely finish.

I did have to frog it several times, however I think at least some of that was that I was distracted, lost track of the decreases. Also working out which colour I wanted for each bit, and how best to strand the yarn to the back of the work.

Really great pattern though, great design for a quick and stylish finish, also advice on mixing it up for a different finish.

I have posted an ‘action photo’, at which time I was working on the button placement; the finished item looks quite different. I’ll get a daylight picture in the morning…
