Notes

Took awhile to get going. I did a custom dye for my yarn. Started with white and had to dye it twice to get the colour depth I wanted. On first read the pattern seemed a little complicated, but just following it step by step and it doesn’t seem too bad.

April 21, 2020: I finished the project last night. I used up almost every inch of yarn I had dyed - 500 g total. I dyed just over 100g of the green (104 g) and the rest in the brown. I had about 16” of brown left and only about 3”-4” of the green. That was a great game of yarn chicken. I really like the way the cardigan turned out. I had planned on this being a Mother’s Day gift, but now I want to keep it for myself… smile
