Notes

May 20th 2010: cast on for another Milo for James. His first was knitted with Berroco Ultra Alpaca and it is a bit too loose(but I love Ultra alpaca), this yarn should be a bit stiffer. I had to undo the first, long tail cast on because yarn kept breaking off, it is only loosely spun together, uhm…
May 25th 2011: I am finishing the yarn, hope I’ll have enough for the border and will it be long enough for James?
May 26th 2011: border turned out very short- finished yarn. Tried it on James , it looks large and boxy. James doesn’t want me to frog it . I started nonetheless then immediately realized that this yarn is not very strong and will probably break too much. We’ll keep it as it is and wear in in cold weather with plenty stuffing underneath!
June 1st: stitched tiny buttons as owls’ eyes. Cute!
