Notes

The MC Yarn is Blind Buck Farm 100% Gotland color „Cooked Main Lobster“. A beautiful variegated yarn. I am adding a solid color Cascade 220 in a few rows here and there and then in every garter stitch section.
I noticed how similar the colors are in this yarn compared to the WYS sock yarn in color „ Kingfisher“ I used for a recent pair of socks.
Used Jenny’s stretchy bind off and will add a charm ( perhaps a Lobster!) when I find the perfect one instead of a pompom.
