Late Dec
Blocking helped some of the ‘fit’ issues, the fabric became drape-y instead of spring-y and the ‘wings’ grew enough that I can tie easier then before.

I used this almost every day. However only using 3 of the 4 skeins(didn’t use the harvest colorway) makes it slightly small for tying and I ran out of yarn doing the ties (I cord). So instead of knotting the ties I tuck them in my back pockets or belt.

don’t have the official pattern. guessing from looking at pics. 3 st between middle yo, 2 st from edge, yo, 1 st, yo. Cast on 9?
