Notes

Fast and easy pattern! Finished the knitting in just a day, but finished blocking the next weekend. Didn’t really block it--soaked with Eucalan, wrapped in towel, than draped over towel rod. The Eucalan made it really soft! You can’t really block it flat with the full twist.

I joined the yarn with Jane Richmond’s Magic Knot technique, which I use for almost everything now. I wasn’t sure how it would work with bulky yarn, but so far so good! I think soaking it helped strengthen the knot(s).
