Notes

Snowflake Surprise KAL

to begin on Christmas vacation

14.12.19 - 1st hexagon as a swatch - 3.75mm needles. Felt too firm prior to blocking. Better after blocking. Will try a hexagon with a 4mm needle and compare. 40 gm yarn in square. 14gm white. 26 gm blue.

2020.01.05

six hexagons finished - 4mm needle gives nicer fabric with Cascade 220

2020.01.12

Best just to Kitchener these together as I finish them.

2021.01.15

Because I stopped knitting these for part of the pandemic, when I restarted I accidentally reknitted one of the hexagons, resulting in 25 hexes. Can you see the duplicate?

Knitted I-cord borders.

Oh, this was so much fun!! And it’s the perfect weight for a couch blanket. Although I have to put it up out of the way when I’m not using it. The (now 8 month old) puppy still loves it and won’t leave it alone.
