Notes

I started this project for the Ravelympics … and I was close to the finish line, but no cigar!

Oh well, I enjoyed the competition, and its certainly the fastest I’ve ever tried to knit (I am a slooooow knitter).

Finally finished, and even with all the pattern problems it was well worth it.

Don’t know if it’s evident in the photos, but I found buttons that are Indian/buffalo head nickels!
