Notes

so soft!

i really love the fisherman’s rib,
it is so voluminous and lovely to touch!

biggest problem was that i needed much more yarn than stated in the pattern and had to buy several more skeins.


craftymizz gave me the pattern as a rak and i keep changing my mind about the yarns i want to make it with!

finally settled on the Lima held together with the Kid-silk,
and it is turning out beautiful soft and fuzzy and warm and i want to stroke it all the time!
