Notes

I’m not holding any yarn together. I can’t imagine leaving a lace weight out will affect the gauge, so hopefully I’m right!

Oh man, this yarn is INCREDIBLE! The color, the feel…mmmmm.

It’s going to have a very, very deep garter border so I can use up all the yarn. I like the idea of an i-cord bind-off. I’ll just have to see how badly I want to finish it when I get that far. :)
