bumped up hook size to “G” (using Graydog hook); changed tr st to an extended dc (to create a softer fabric).

Faye Silton’s pattern appears in the May/June 2013 issue of Piecework Magazine. Project is the theme to the “Of Heroes, Hooks, and Heirlooms” book by Faye Silton.

yarn notes: yummy to work with! Needs a vinegar bath prior to wet-blocking to set color.

project is not totally from Silton’s pattern; see blog post for details on what happened. I do like my version of the Collar.

decided to change the name of the project to “imitation” since I did not fully follow the pattern.

Entered into the 2013 Bridgewater Fair; it won a Red Ribbon.
