Notes

Started with size 15 needles and got about 2/3 through…I think the stitches are too loose and big. I’m going to frog and start over with 13’s. I think part of the issue is I’m using DK yarn, it may be too light for size 15. I also want a slightly tighter knit.

Since I have three balls of yarn, I am taking the suggestion of a helpful person at Soft Horizons Fibre. You weigh the yarn at the beginning (since there’s no gram weight on the tosh labels) and when you get halfway through (you weigh the remaining yarn), you turn around and start the decreases. So logical but I didn’t think of it myself!
