Notes

Started this in 2012 and ended up frogging it to start over.
Had about 6 inches knit. Disappointing, but it wouldn’t have fit.

Our local Glen photo could either match the Glen colorway or the Mountain colorway, since it’s half green and half Autumnal red.
Colors: Bogbean, Pebble Beach, Driftwood, Lapwing, Fulmar, Dulse, Calluna, Sea Ivory, Erica, Limpet, Machair, Selkie, and Mountain Hare.
