Notes

Finished except for weaving in and blocking! And I might add some kind of edging along the neck.

Pattern is forgiving of counting mistakes.

I like the result a lot, but it was kind of annoying to knit, in the end. I couldn’t figure out what was going on until I charted the pattern myself. Even then, I never managed to memorize the pattern, and I had trouble figuring out where I was if I put the project down for any length of time.

I really like the feel of the Bearfoot yarn.

Although the Toots LeBlanc is labeled fingering, it works up somewhere in between laceweight and fingering.
