Notes

I am a tight knitter, yet with 3.5mm it spreads enormously! So I had to use 2.75mm needles.

Cast on 45 stitches.
It’s going rather fast for this needle size.

YoU get addicted to this knitting at the end wheen you get the 2 color knitting (fairly easy). Size pre-blocking: 15x107cm. Let“s see how much it stretches. Hope for 150cm….

10-08-2016

For the first attempt to gain some lenght, I washed it then let dry flat. It was not enough (122 cm long).
To reach a fair lenght, I washed it, then hardly removed the water and set it on a dryer. It stretched with its own weight!
