Notes

It’s done! It’s blocking! I love it!
Yarn held double, got gauge perfectly on #5 Chiagoo steel. Strangely, this Bugga! is much thinner than any other Bugga! I’ve ever worked with, looks and feels like more of a fingering weight.
Moded the decrease. Really love how the designer worked the decrease overall, just wasn’t Wasn’t loving how the leaves came together for the decrease, I wanted them to be folding inward more invisibly. Instead of (k2tog, p1tbl, ssk) I did (k1, p3tog, k1). Actually did p3tbl for the first row but decided it was too fiddly, the p3tog looked better also.
Pattern is very well written and laid out. Only drawback is that it is not very flexible in terms of adjusting for size or length (which has to do with the nature of the twin leaf motif).
