Notes

05/05 - Finished with Section 4 and have decided to repurpose the yarns. I changed to bigger needles, kept the edge stitches loose, and the shawl still puckers. While blocking helps, after a few weeks the yarn will try to get back to its original state. This was to be a gift, the recipient shouldn’t have to re-block. I love Casapinka’s designs, I wish this one had worked for me.

05/02 - Currently using US5 and US7 and I’m happy with the fabric. I hope the puckering below the mosaic will relax with blocking.

04/30 - My tight knitting is curling the fabric, but I’ll leave it as is and work up to larger needles.

At 40 sts changed to US4 on one end, US5 on the other.
At 46 sts - US5 on both ends. It feels better.

Slipped stitches will be US7

04/28 - After several false starts due to colors not contrasting enough, I’m just going to roll with these two.

04/27 - CO with US4.
