Notes

General
Yarn feels quite harsh but is much nicer to knit with than you would expect. Unfortunately it sheds a bit and irritates my sinuses a little. It blooms wonderfully from a wash though. And gets much softer.

Mods

  • Using 4.5mm needle for plain stockinet rows and 5mm for colourwork.
  • Only putting charted pattern on front, on back I’m just doing a simple geometric pattern.
  • Turned last heart pattern upsidedown to make everything completely mirrored.
  • Ended with a 3-needle-bindoff from the inside.
  • Handsewed zipper to opening.

Timeline
2016-11-23: Finished the knitting. Washed and pinned it out. Will put in zipper when it’s dry.
2016-11-24: Put in zipper but too dark to photograh when I was finished.
