Notes

Turned M.C Escher’s Symmetry Drawing No. 73 into a chart and knit a cap back in 2013, but it slipped totally unnoticed because of a totally wrong choice of colours.

Regarding the beads: gustavs’s no seamstress/embroideress, so it took about a month of intense mental preparation & at least four hours of sewing slightly fewer than a hundred beads on.
