Notes

Doing Lichtfaden’s modified version: A Dark Secret in Leipzig

The first rows were somewhat painful to knit till I got the hang of it. Frogged twice, and kind of made do the third time around :-) guess nobody will notice though.

The yarn is lovely, I might want to keep this. Did gift it, though. Recipient liked it very much.

If only I would not keep thinking of raspberry sorbet while knitting this :-)

Inserted one WS row of plain stockinette before binding off.

Border section and stretchy bind of with 4.5 mm needles.

Yarn left after:
First repeat of rows 1-37: 37g
2-16: 28g
2-20: 24g
2-27: 18g
2-37: 10g
A-C + 1 row + bind off: 4g

Boy this beast was unwilling to be tamed in blocking…
