Notes

Ooh, ripping back in Fair Isle is a tricky thing. I finally figured it out, but whoa. Almost done and I don’t know how I feel about the colors… I’m going to wait until it’s felted and has a border to decide.

2/13: Finally got around to shaving the fuzz off (I let the afterschoolers do it, and they attacked the task with glee) and finishing the whipstitched edges… and I think I love it! Most of all I love the thick yet floppy feel to it. The colors all came together in the end. :)

I made a wee bag out of the leftovers.
