Notes

Excited to be testing for dear Isabell once again. Her patterns are the best!

Swatching to find gauge. Holding three strands together for MC. Julie Asselin nurtured/plucky lodge fingering/viola merino lace.

Note: as a general rule- 1 strand of sport weight + 1 strand of Dk weight = Bulky (others say 2 DK = Bulky)

At bind off. Looking and fitting well. Will try this link for Italian bind off link text

Tried Italian bind off. Had difficulty as holding 3 strands of yarn together. Did regular bind off using 7” needle

My Norte is blocking. I used much less of the CC than I thought. Yarn usage has been updated above.

Thank you Isabell and Claudia for having me test knit Norte. Beautiful and easy pattern! heart
