Notes

Testing for Tikki.

This is a really clever construction and fun knit. I am so happy about the German short rows I’ve learnt, I have a new favorite technique and the bonus is that it’s the easiest method yet!

Not sure how I feel about the Noro. The colours are glorious but the cottony feel of the Taiyo was pretty hard on the hands. I have lots for the bigger girls too..lot sure I will have the stamina to do them both thought!

550 yards exactly for the size 22’ knit to pattern lengths
