Notes

Use the Jems Luxe Waterfall kit for this one? It’s fingering, so add 3 repeats to the width is the going thought. Or hold it double as stated.

Off the needles. 109g total weight of yarn left over. Average of 4g per color. I could have added maybe another repeat or two to the width but would have risked being able to cast on and bind off with the same color. Also, since she’s a long scarf to start, I didn’t really want a width much beyond 2 feet.

Will block tomorrow and look to get final measurements.

12-23-2021

Blocked! Pre-blocking she was about 14 feet long and rather skinny. I wet blocked her and pulled it as wide as possible. She is now measuring in at:

35” wide and 84” long

Much better for a wrap, and the lace opened so nicely. Hoping for some sun so that I can get photos soon!
