Notes

Malabrigo March FO #8

Test knitting the cowl version of this.

Well…it looks nothing like the pattern! I’m disappointed with my color choices. You can’t really see the pattern. This dye lot of Sabiduria is so light in some places, you can’t tell the difference between it and the Plomo. As a result, the pattern looks more like leopard print…not damask.

This was a great pattern for new to fair isle knitting. The floats weren’t too long. I tacked them down every third stitch so my floats weren’t longer than 2 sts. It made for firmer fabric.
