Notes

Great little commuting project. Lace pattern quick to work and satisfying to do.

I did only do two or three pattern repeats of the moss stitch border before casting off.

Never worked with holst garn supersoft before, it blooms nicely on washing, with a crisp handfeel, filling out stitches. very pleased with it - will be using it in other projects - esp at that price.

Didn’t seem to block out to a massive size - I was quite firm with it, and yet in the damp weather it just squished down to a smaller size. Still very happy with it though.

Overall I have been left with a light and warm shawl, ideal for sitting outside in the cool air and drinking coffee in, to fully appreciate the season change.
