Notes

I was so excited to knit this! I took a (much too) long hiatus from knitting while I studied for a big important exam (I get too excited when I’m working on something and just want to knit all the time, so I had to cut myself off). Luckily I passed that exam, so it’s back to knitting for me!

This is a belated birthday present for my mom. It was my first time knitting leaves - so clever! The pattern was pretty easy to remember after knitting a few leaves, which made it good tv knitting.

Very nice yarn. Unfortunately I finished the second skein with just 5 leaves to go so had to dip into the third. :P

Blocking made a huuuuge difference here. The stockinette was curling and the leaves were all crumpled, but everything smoothed out nicely with blocking. See last pic for unblocked photo.

Sorry for the pic overload. It’s been awhile and I’m excited to have a finished project! Colour is truest in the third photo.
