Notes

10-25-2016

I’ve wanted to make this for a long time - love the look of it. Got a sampler just to do it!

02-05-2017

Finished this on Friday but was weaving in & trimming ends off and on this weekend.

REALLY like it. Maybe it’s because it’s modular, but I never got that “OMG, THIS ROW IS NEVER GOING TO END” feeling towards the end.

Definitely don’t cut the yarn on the last set of modules. There’s no need, and that’s fewer ends to weave in.

Weave in ends as you go - weave in the end from the last one into the next one as you pick up stitches.

Definitely do pick up the slack on the stitch on the 2nd row for the modules on the edge. When you get to it, pick it up as if it’s a yarnover, knit the next stitch, then pull the picked-up faux yarnover OVER the stitch you just knitted. No more slack!

The only reason I rated it “medium” is because, at first, the instructions can be a little bit confusing.
