Notes

08/03/2026 Love this so much, I would make another
Next time, I will put the left side stitches on a barber cord so I can come back to it and do that side like the first. Also will weigh the yarn I have left at that point so as to have the same for each side. I also used JSSBO and really liked the firm edge that it gave to the garter stitch.

07/31/2026 major mod
finished and spent a good amount of time trying to see how I could wear this and realized I really didn’t want to spend this amount of time trying to wear it and knew I wouldn’t wear it. Sooo, because I had yarn left, I picked up the cast off edge and did the same inc/dec as the other side. Steam blocked it to see if I was on track (with making it more wearable) and yes, it makes a big dif. Am going to knit till I run out of yarn.

07/27/2026 almost done

Returned the Miss Babs and went stash diving. Am happy with how this is looking. Will do alternating garter rows after clue 4 to use up the rest of the yarn.

06-26-2026 not happy

Just got my Miss Babs order. I am very disappointed. The colors are not at all what I was expecting.
