Notes

I’m pretty sure I made a mistake with the direction of one or more of the cables. This really bothers me! But I think I will keep going and fix it on the other end before grafting it together.

Dec.18/12 - I couldn’t handle it. I frogged the whole thing except for the first four rows (I was NOT doing the provisional cast on again!). Now I’m feeling much better about it, and I’m about half done.

Dec 20/12 - Boy I’ve decided I don’t really like this yarn! It feels soft and luxurious on the fingers, but it’s a little itchy on my neck. I can only hope my mother in law isn’t as sensitive as I am. This project took three attempts before I got it cast on properly, three bouts of major frogging, and a bunch more frogging of a row or three at a time. But my kitchener graft is mostly a success! It’s not 100% invisible, but with practice, I know I’ll improve.
