Notes

This yarn is beautiful to look at and very fuzzy and soft. It is a roving yarn, so beware, it splits easily. It varies between thick and thin, from a 4 down to a 2. This is not a fault, it is merely a trait of roving yarn. It is not fun to tink back for errors, so be careful as you knit. I am learning that for sure.

I finally blocked it. Turned out fine!

Michelle is sending it back for repair! Her dog got to it while it was in the laundry basket. I hope I can fix it or else I will knit a smaller version quickly with the same yarn color because she says the baby is crying for it. Really?

I knit a smaller version 21.5”x19” for a car seat blanket for baby. The dog ate too much yarn!
