Notes

4/29 - checked out The Purple Purl today. they had lots of gorgeous yarns, the largest LYS i’ve been too yet. i got to see how Ishbel looks like as they had one on display! the small size was smaller than i had imagined. i ended up buying the same yarn as the sample Ishbel which was a lovely buttery yellow.

5/4 - i used the alternative cast on method posted in the forum. i’ve done about 8 rows now of the stocking stitch. i finally get the hang of it and should be able to complete this section without any problems.

5/10 - ran into problems. the YOs in the centre were not straight. had to frogged like 5 times. i’m starting to get the hang of the stocking stitch after a bit of practice. hope for no more mistakes! i don’t even want to start thinking about the lace sections. i’m scared! lol.

5/29 - still working on stocking stitch making sure i have no mistakes as i work along each row. this pattern is too advance for me! i like the challenge though it will take some time to finish.
