Notes

One can work the final garter stitch rows at any time if one wants to use all their yarn.

If I make this again, I’ll work single yo’s vs double yo’s as written.

Wanting to work up some yarns I’ve had for a while.
Something easy. Love that.

Have pretty beads:
one for each cast on stitch (200), one for each stitch of the k1, yo (20 per row), one for each dropped yo st (20 per row) and one for each bindoff stitch 200).
Used 3 tubes of beads. About 1,000.

On gauge right away, which was nice.

Was planning on using this yarn for Tiger Eye Lace Scarf, which is beautiful, but I’m not a fan of 6” scarves. Too narrow. Didn’t want to make it wider with columns of lace.

Solution for Tiger Eye Scarf width:
in the future, will add wide columns of st st alongside the pretty lace in the middle.
Wish I had thought of that earlier.

I’m happy with this yarn for the dropped stitch design.
Many thanks to Ms. Mamã Martinho for this lovely design.
