Notes

Loving this pattern!!

Added contrast color on the last stitch of the row before I needed it because of the slip stitch edge. Knitting both colors at the end of the row then slipping both on the next row. It’s not hidden, but I kind of like the look (and don’t want those ends!)

Noticed my two color slip stitches are tight, hoping it blocks out. Loosening up for the rest of the project.

I was running really low on the blue/gray main color, so I cut the last bit of mesh a little early and skipped the end stripes. I wasn’t loving the ending seed stitch so I switched to garter.

This was my first time blocking so I have some things to learn (and I didn’t have nearly as much room as I thought I did) but I think it went alright! The edge definitely loosened up for me.

I ended up using MOST of each skein, but I probably could have squeaked out a few more rows.

Love how this turned out!
