Notes

Done! Final measurement is 34” square (unblocked).
Definitely going to make another one, but it’s a LOT of fiddly work. Making the motifs is only about 50% of it in my opinion.

These ends are no joke! 8 ends to weave on the half-hexi alone! I thought people must be exaggerating…

1/29: two owls done already, this is a pretty quick pattern, with a very embellished written pattern. Definitely worth paying for already.

The motifs come out a little looser than im expected, but I think that May just be the yarn I’m using. The LB Amazing gradient is lovely, but I’m less fond of the texture to work with, as it is a single ply yarn that tends to stick to itself.
