Notes

Yarn is soft silky and beautiful. Knits up nicely. Pattern very easy and quick.
Followup after wearing awhile. Diameter good, wish I had done more repeats. Wish i had done a tighter gauge or thicker yarn. Not quit warm enough for harsh Michigan winter winds.
11/4/13 Gauge swatch on US4 HiyaHiya Sharps, too tight a gauge, will use US5 HiyaHiya Sharps.
11/24/13-12/1/13 CO 220 using cabled cast on. Did couple rows back and forth before joining in round to avoid twisting. Working on this and another project at the same time. Knitting 6 rows , then turn, change color and knit 6 rows, Repeat. Love the colors and how this is turning out!
12/7/13 8 repeats of MC/CC with 9th of MC. 3 stitch I-Cord bindoff.
