Another Christmas gift, for my sister.

Notes on this project:

1. The pattern: a relatively quick knit. I finished it less than a week while working on other projects. It changes enough to be interesting, but not so much that you can’t tell where you are or what is about to happen.

2. Pompoms: bought a pompom maker for this, because my pompom making skills are subpar. I couldn’t find a pompom maker for a 3” pompom, so I settled for 2.5” instead. I think it still looks great. I’m not sure why I even bothered to try and make pompoms without a maker before - this is so so much easier and turns out so much better.

3. Pompom attachment skills: apparently these are even worse that my pre-pompom maker pompom making skills. Apparently i have a lot to learn about attaching pompoms to a project. In the end, with the help of some thread and extra yarn, it seems pretty secure.

4. The yarn: It looks beautiful and it feels pretty nice after blocking. I have to say that while I appreciate the colours and the idea behind the yarn, I’m not the biggest fan of working with it. It is too fragile for my taste - and I get frustrated when it breaks unexpectedly I am forced to rip back.
