Notes

What a great pattern, it took me a few repeats to be able to read my stitches but once I did it was nice endless knitting that didn’t need a lot of attention to the pattern. The lace section flew by, but it’ll be a while before I do seed stitch again…!

MODS:

Extra YO every 4th row
Slipped first stitch of each RS row to give a nice edge

LOVE THIS YARN.

The colourway is so unbelievably pretty, it’s super soft and I can’t stop stroking it. Didn’t have any issues caking it up, it’s been really nice to work with. Being lazy and not alternating skeins, lets see if I pay for this later…!

8 Sept: Started on the body of the shawl, moss stitch I shake my fist… On the 5th repeat of 24 and have realised I have an error about 10 rows down… Do I frog or simply move on? My stitch count matches, and with the colourway and seed stitch it’s only really noticeable to me.

17 Sept: I had to tink… forgive me haha. Finally getting the hang of the seeded section, had a few rows where I simply lost track of where I was and my stitch count but now I’m flying along! Just about to hit 120 stitches… so close but so far.

10 Oct: Seed stitch blows haha. Flying through the lace section now, just finished chart C and doing the 2nd repeat of chart A. Have finally let go of my obsessive stitch counting and just going for it! Just about finished the 3rd skein now.

19 Oct: Onto the last repeat of the moss stitch!
