Notes

16.02.2016

I am not sure about the yarn color selection - on one hand, the colors are lovely, but on the other, the stripes are not that visible…

I also had to frog the second lace section, the way I knit and purl the double yo did not look good (and I changed it for the 2nd section, because I thought it would).

23.02.2016

During the last stripes section I ran out of Lotus yarn for the last 14 short rows… Damn.

LATER:
I bought new skein tonight and used only 3 grams of the yarn. Damn, damn…

The picot bind off takes ages…

Finished. Still need to block, but not today :) It’s big, soft and in the end I really like the colors, it was a good choice.
