Notes

3/16/10: Wow. I love how Bugga looks in stockinette stitch.

3/21/10: This is gorgeous so far. I made one mistake in not fully reading the pattern and, thus, not realizing I was supposed to be purling through the back/front loop on the make-ones on the purl side. I’ve decided to just keep going the way I’m going though and make it an intentional and consistent mistake since in my opinion you can’t really see it on the right side of the fabric.

4/20/10: Put this aside for a short while and picked it back up again recently. I love it so much I am compelled to finish as soon as possible.

4/24/10: Getting closer. You have to really not mind purling with this pattern. Sheesh.

4/26/10: Started the border tonight.

5/1/10: Done! It’s blocking. I ended up with 12 grams of the pink and 2 grams of the brown left. I knit 5 border repeats in brown, then did rows 1 and 2 of the repeat in pink, then rows 3 and 4 in brown and then two rows of plain knit for one last garter ridge in pink before binding off. I used Jenny’s Stretchy Bind Off which really made a nice finished edge.
