Notes

I worked on this mostly between other projects. I used fingering instead of DK when substituting yarns, since the yarn listed has a yardage of ~500 yards per 100 grams, and I thought a DK would be too heavy. The yarn is splitty and a bit difficult to work with, but the end result is lovely. It drapes well, and the striping effect of the semi-solid yarn looks really neat.

About halfway through, the cable to my Addi’s broke, and half of the stitches ended up off the needles. That was…fun. Rather than buy another set of cables at the moment, I bought a fixed circular to finish off the project. I didn’t quite get the same gauge with the new needles, but it worked well enough.
