project notes ::

• the yarn : I chose the Peace Feece ‘lily pad’ colorway in hopes that it would compliment the Shelter ‘sap’ colorway in the Quill Throw I made for my husband ~ it does :) ~ we’ll have coordinated throws now!

• cast on : I always use the longtail cast on for circular starts ~ I think it looks fine once the end is woven in
