Notes

This was fun, fast and easy. I went down to 4.0mm needles after 10 or 12 rows because the fabric I was making was too loose and ugly. 95% of this was knit using Okay Knits Sena, which was both beautiful and nice to work with. I knew I would be a bit shory, so I worked the last three rows with Muthoni, another of Okay Knits yarns, and remnants from my Butterscotch Spring socks, which worked out really well.

Damson is another very well written pattern from Ysolda Teague. No fuss, no muss and no “WTF” moments. I’ve a feeling I’ll be making another one of these. SOmeday …

The top photo shows the colors best.
The bottom photo is my version of the “I’m so demure, I can’t look directly at the camera” shot. It’s more “I feel like an asshole and wish I had a tripod and better lighting in my apartment.”
