Notes

I think this is the most satisfying thing I have ever made. It’s so soft and delicate and looks exquisite.

17/1/11: Finished it on the 10th, but it took me this long to block and photograph. 16 repeats altogether, with some yarn left over to make a cowl.

4/1/11: 10 pattern repeats so far! Go me!

The yarn is the softest thing I have ever touched, and absolutely gorgeous - like a deep pine forest with dapples of sunlight. I thought it would go well with the Pine Cone pattern in the Shetland Triangle. Also, I’ve had problems with the Shetland Triangle when I’ve tried in the past - I never get past the first pattern repeat because it doesn’t look all that great to me. This time I just kept going, and wow, does it ever look beautiful when you get a few repeats under your belt!
