Notes

I completely fell in love with this self striping yarn at my LYS #BritYarn trunk show for Yarn Shop Day 2016!!

Eleanor absolutely loves it too!!! She says it looks like Rainbow Dash colours!

08.08.16 update - finally got to joining in the round to be able to knit the body. This has been hard going because of the intarsia needed to do a contrast trim. At one point there were 5 balls on the go! And with the lace shoulders adding more complexity. Definitely needed a lot of concentration for this one!
