Notes

I’ve stated before in my previous projects of Ms. Caitlin’s designs how wonderful her designs are. This is no less.
This unique design is free, for goodness sake and it took a lot of time to create, knit and write for others.

I very much appreciate how the designer formatted the written directions. One line per row, double spaced. So easy to use.

I like the eyelets that HecateCat added to her project Full moonlight . She has those directions on her project page. Thanks so much to Ms. Catherine for that.

She used 490 y and worked 118 r.
The pattern has 96 r and uses 390 y.
I have 478 y in one sk, but I have a second sk. Will plan accordingly.

As in nearly all my projects, I used Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-off. It’s essential for nearly everything.

Up a couple needle sizes to get gauge. Unusual for me. Typically, my stitches are too big and I have to go down needle sizes upon swatching.

I got four sk of this yarn in two colors a few years ago at a substantial discount, so I am choosing the projects for those skeins very carefully. Once it is gone, it is gone.
