Notes

Trying out the new yarn - not sure if right choice for this project but only one way to find out!

Knit garter bands as written for 1st and final band but decreased middle bands down to 6 repeats.

A little weary but machine washed on cold, air dried in the dryer for 10 minutes then dried on blocking mats. Yarn softened up some, beautiful shine. It took a while to get used to the linen but I wound up loving it in the end. Note to self next time: work with bamboo needles at a smaller needle size than pattern recommends

Very wearable project.
