Notes

The gauge on this is very strange when blocking aggressively. I think I’m going to settle for size 7 needles and aggressive blocking for the most drapey fabric, and to try and get this as big as it’ll get with the yardage I have.

Now that I’ve blocked from both skeins I can also see they’re wildly different in tone. One is almost gray and the other one tan, like the blue seeped through in one to the whole skein, but not the other. I think I’m going to need to alternate skeins, which is not something I’ve done before.

On section 5 and have half my yarn still left so going to imitate this project to add sections: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Feege/water

Finished and blocked! I adore this and it is freaking huge. Really looking forward to it getting cold again so I can wear it! First time I’ve really wanted to display one of these on my wall. Not sure what the way folks usually do that is so I’ll have to look around!
