Notes

Liber AL vel Legis, Ch. II:

1.Blue am I and gold in the light of my bride: but the red gleam is in my eyes…

Liber AL, Ch. I
60. The Five Pointed Star, with a Circle in the Middle, & the circle* is Red. My colour is black to the blind, but the blue & gold are seen of the seeing.

  1. I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset; I am the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night sky.

Both glittery yarns wound with alpaca to create 7 ply.
Recipient’s head circ=24” (more like 24.5”)

Lengthened star’s arms to align with decreases.
Steam blocked. It fits!
* finally figured out how to do the circle. Doh!
