Notes

2014-02-13
The second panel of four trees (two repetitions of the pattern) is almost ready. Still have to wash and block though, before measuring and going for the final phase, the garden.

2014-02-17 Washed and blocked. It turns out I only need 4 repetitions to get to the desired width. Second panel almost done. Next step: the flower garden.

2014-03-12 The flower garden is going alright. Have yet to decide how many repetitions I’m going to make.

2014-04-11 Kind of idle…. waiting to finish my sweater to put all my energy back into this.

2014-09-28 Picked it up again, and I’m already at the tulip border. Gonna have to buy another skein, and than it will be finished.

2014-10-24 One more skein to go, after all. I’m already doing the tulip border. And knowing how to shape with short rows came in pretty handy! It’s very easy to “turn the corner” when you’re doing short rows. I definetely recommend learning this skill, it’s easy!

2015-02-17 Done. Now I just have to figure out how to hang it on the wall. And on what wall to hang it on.

Turns out it’s a perfect fit for the baby’s bed. So now it’s her blanket. I’ll take a picture of the FO as soon as possible.
