Notes

11 March 2023: all washed and dried. Ends woven in (which took forever). It turned out great. I might knit another in fingering.

Hot pink: one strand Supersoft Peony + one strand Palette Cosmopolitan

Needles:
US5: cast-on, ribbing, bind-off
US7: everything else

Random:
Bottle green is only meh, but I used it anyway. Holst Garn didn’t have the right green. I bought Palette Macaw but it was too green. And WYS bottle green in my monitor looked pretty good/close match to what I had in mind, but in real life, it wasn’t 100%. And I simply couldn’t keep buying green yarn and so I just went with Bottle green.


10 March 2023: off the needles


17 February 2023: have to put this on hold for a few days until more yarn options show up.

HG Supersoft held double.


Ten years ago I went to the V&A with a media pass, and got to see the Bowie exhibition. It was everything.
