Notes

I decided I wanted to go with a vibrant fade, hence my bold color choices. Absolutely loved this and adding in all the color. I did knit the sleeves inside out and I always added my ball of yarn on the knit side versus the purl side because I liked how the blending looked. More details on the blog.
