Notes

Eenie Meenie Gift #2
Love these water color effects by Malabrigo. Feel like I am straight out of a Monet painting with this one. Phone camera darkens it. In the morning light, it looked softer and lighter. But in bright or evening light, it looks darker. A bit of a color changer, I am afraid.

Sometimes doing a pattern multiple times is quite enjoyable. I tracked what I was doing on previous Brickless, so I was able to confidently watch my gram usage and know I would have enough for six full sets, plus the additional lace panel and bindoff. Happily cranked this one out!

Curious about the difference between Malabrigo Sock vs Mechita. The Mechita felt plumper most of the time with its single ply. Very smooth almost slick. Very little halo on mine until I got towards the end of the skein (I go from the outside in, towards the center of the ball). I am guessing this will fuzz with wear.

Wait a second. Did I do this on a US 3 or 5?! I have been doing my latest ones on 3’s. Crud. Sorry.
