Notes

Hand Dyed the yarn myself.
Quite content with the result even if it’s more blue/greenish than grey.

I must admit I lost some stitch here and there and i don’t know how…
I started to check the sticth count 4 rows before the end of each section so that I could adjust by not making YO on either side to go back to the correct numbers before and after the marker
This way I could end with the right stitch count, expecially before the lace sections.
This comes with the small price of some garther/mohair sections being larger in height than the others,

Still very happy with the result.
Finished pictures coming soon.
