Notes

This was my Australia project! I was working in Australia for 3 months, and although it was an amazing adventure for me, I found myself really missing San Francisco and my friends there. In the last month of my trip I started this blanket and finished it on my last day in Sydney. Perfect timing to block and photograph back in my secret garden in San Francisco.

It’s good to be home!

Minor edits:

  • I did more chevron repeats (5 instead of 3) because I realized I would have 2.5 skeins leftover if I didn’t! And I wanted a bigger blanket since I used size 8 needles.

  • I did 12 garter stitches on the edging since that’s my favorite number :)
