Notes

This pattern is so cool!!! I really cannot stress this enough …. the result is cool, WonderWoman is cool, the empowering & modern thought behind it is cool, and the construction & shape forming of the pattern - is cool!

This has been on my to-do-list for a long time, and a good friend’s birthday finally pushed me over the edge. This will not be the last one!

The yarn is wonderful, as ever. The colorcombo seems to recall Harry Potter’s Gryffindor house, in case anyone looked for those… But that’s ok, my friend loves superheroes as well as HP!

I chose the wee size which I already find quite big, though my gauge might be bigger than the suggested size, and blocking should make it bigger yet.

I am a loose knitter, but here I think I should have taken 0,5 or even 1 size bigger needles.

The pattern is very technical but very clear. The representation of what section you’re knitting is really cool and helpful. I enjoy knitting all parts of it, it never gets boring! My yarn consumption is way off though, instead of 2 I used 3 balls of yellow, and then didn’t do the last repetition of the second yellow W as I run out.
