Notes

ETA 2021-08-06: Never use this so sent it to the recycling shop.

General
Washi and Tetsu are very interesting to knit with. Feels a bit like linen but slightly stiffer.
I don't like the fabric I get with 6 Karat. Completely the wrong texture for this scarf. Looks like I'm going to have to order some Washi after all. This will have to go into hibernation until it arrives.

Mods

  • Want a much narrower scarf so cast on 50 st = 3 edge st + 20st st + 14 pattern st + 10st st + 3 edge st.
  • Doing all the dimensional intarsia in stockinet.
  • Didn’t bother with any markers. This is such a simple pattern.
  • Repeated chart 20 times.
