Notes

Take two of this beautiful pattern. I originally cast it on last year in another colour and with a smaller needle. Since then I’ve gained more confidence with my knitting and decided to start over and use my original colours for a tunic instead. Much happier with my second attempt already blush

Making progress again. 2022 the year of UFOs

Repeat two started yesterday. Making good progress. I’m not sure if I’ll complete all four repeats - depends on how big this beauty is getting.

Going along nicely. I dropped down to a 3.5mm at the start of my second repeat. My knitting tension had loosened significantly since I first cast this on and I felt it was getting a bit slack. Kids just diagnosed with covid so I’m hoping to get through this quicker over the next few days.

Up to my final repeat. Getting excited now!

Finished!! This was such a labour of love for me. I first cast on this pattern in 2019 - decided I wasn’t ready and came back to it again in 2020. 2 years later and I’m done. I used Jenny’s super stretchy cast off with a 4mm needle. Currently blocking. So so squishy and devine!
