Notes

I was very fortunate to buy a lot of this buttery soft yarn discounted by 30% off at my LYS. Interestingly, it bled on my fingers, and stained my orange needle protectors black!!!!

Have frogged it once, twice, am currently on third attempt, using markers now to keep track of accuracy of every 20 stitches. Is looking good so far….

I finished the piece keeping the unintentional “design feature” There is a 2-inch band where I must have reversed direction on my stitches. It makes a slight visual change but does not look like an actual mistake.

My final piece measures 27’’ in length knit by about 10 inches wide knit on the Magic Loop. It goes to my waist and can be doubled and worn comfortably around my neck. I added a one-inch edge, knit around and bound off using Sensations Angel Hair. It is a blend of 50% acrylic, 28% nylon and 22% wool. I love the pop of color.

I am very happy with the product.
