Notes

After I made a fitted but squishy tall cowl for our contractor out of this yarn, I never heard back from him, so I’m taking my craisins to a town who knows how to snack.

Cast-on occurred thanks to the support of Stalkerhaus Knitting Outreach, via Google Hangouts. Thank you, ladies. You made the magick happen.

The cables are open-source combinations of CB4 & CF4.

  • Ran out of Skein #1 & switched to Skein #2 via Russian join somewhere in the ribbing.
