Notes

Meant to use light green as main colour, if u have enough for a cushion, I will swap colours.

Comparing the two colours, the darker green was produced in India, more tightly packed and a hard label. The light green was produced in China, loosely packed with a paper label. My preference would be for India.

Putting this away for the evening, to my horror I noticed a huge mistake. It looks like I’ve missed a few stitches or rows at one point, but because I’ve knitted more sections (4) I think I will leave it and put it down to tiredness.

I will try and photogaph it and mark it, although it is extremely obvious :)
