Stage 1: My first time using this yarn. After casting on it felt like it was fussy and intolerant. I decided to cut it a little slack and now am happily knitting right-a-long.

Stage 2: The bigger it gets, the longer it takes. That’s just how these things go. Finding the knitting to be pleasant and fun. Loving the ‘cruising’ feel.

Stage 3: Decided to do a precise blocking for once, and I can’t wait for it to dry. Measured out just fine.

Great pattern.
