Notes

May 29, 2019

Great pattern, perfect balance of relaxing garter, slip stitches, eyelets and brioche. Always keeps you interested.
In the brioche section there is a special increase but there is a link to a video that explains how it works.
I used sweetfiber in fingering weight that I had in my stash . It was a plumpy fingering that was almost like a sportweight and it worked well.
Tamy recommends to use the lighter colour in the first section, but I used the lighter for the brioche part. Probably if I did it again, I would follow her recommendations, although I’m still happy with the result.
I’m thinking about adding tassels.
