Notes

grav·i·tate
ˈɡravəˌtāt/
verb
move toward or be attracted to a place, person, or thing.
“they gravitated to the Catholic faith in their hour of need”

PHYSICS
move, or tend to move, toward a center of gravity or other attractive force.
synonyms: move, head, drift, be drawn, be attracted;

My attraction to this yarn and pattern is so strong, gravitation is the prefect word.

Following Mpiggy’s mods to make a bit larger.

Was forced to dip into a second skein, which isn’t a bad thing at all because I want this to be a bit larger.

This slinky silk makes me think I could knit it on a size 3 needle. Or I need to do something to tighten up my tension when I knit with silky yarns.

Off the needles this evening. This thing is love-ly!!

It’s a great size!

I need to block this already…

I didn’t block this hard at all because it’s already super long. I love it, this pattern is made for this yarn! I can’t imagine using a different yarn.
