Notes

Not only did my heart skip a beat when I saw this beautiful design, but who would have known that it’s one of the most enjoyable + easy knits ever (+perfect for podcasts mixing neuroscience and other subjects:).

Whoa - got gauge at first try (even though I’m a tight knitter and was listening to the games part of The Hunger Games whilst swatching!).

Yarn (perfect woolly look, but sooo soft (+ organic and Danish!!!)) is the most perfect blue-ish grey and reminds me of what the London skies outside of my home office window have looked like for the last two weeks!

Soundtrack:
The Firestarter Sessions by Danielle LaPorte
The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
This fab podcast: link text on the neuroscience of change - worth listening to more than once for all the fab ideas + Kelly’s new audio book is amazing.

Gracias to the fab Lydia at Loop for unearthing this amazing colour xx

Two tips if you are thinking of knitting this:

Length: I have a short torso (all my length went to my legs), so if you don’t, you might want to add an inch or two.

Neckline: For some reason the neckline came out very wide (almost boat neck-style) - not sure why, but something I will try to change a wee bit next time (thinking of one in yellow - this is such a quick, easy and enjoyable knit - Carrie rules!).
