Notes

For this pattern I mostly used the charts (which I edited on my printed copy to reflect the written instructions). I ended up blocking the cowl larger than the given dimensions, but experience tells me that the finished item recede back when off the pins and wires.

I was selected to testknit a lacy cowl that would be perfect for this RI Red colorway. To say I’m excited is an understatement. :)

After 1st set of the multiple Main charts, I have 138.7g left. I did some calculating which gives me an estimated 33g leftover when the Cowl is finished. If I want to, I could work extra sets of the Main charts to use up the yarn.

The other day I inserted the lifeline after finishing the 3rd repeat of the Main chart. Today I am finally able to work on this cowl and hope to finish it on the First of January.

See that Blue lockable marker? It marks today’s starting point. The gold lifeline is right before the final body chart repeat. I have 64g left in my yarncake.
