Notes

A project for the Easter swap. Should be able to finish this weekend!

3/19/11: CO and got 1/3 of the way through and noticed mistake. Frogged.

CO, followed pattern correctly this time. Finished 1/2 the pattern and thought it was coming out funny. Too dense and too small. DOH! I used US 7 needles instead of 7.0mm needles as per the pattern. Stupid mistake. Stupid, stupid. Frogged.

3/20/11: CO AGAIN. This time I WILL get it right and it WILL come out right. Using 8mm needles because I only have 6.5mm or 8mm and since I sometimes knit too tightly, I don’t want this to come out too small.

3/29/11: Finally made some progress on this. It’s very quick on the larger needles. I should easily be able to finish today.

I used almost the entire skein of Rasta. I sent the leftovers to Susan with her package just in case she needs it in the future. :)
