Notes

Purchased this at Stitches Midwest or at Chicago Yarncon from the vendor market.

That tiny little ball of yarn in my hand is how much was left over from the first skein when I bound off the front.

04-09-2022

Finished the back. Just need to block and seam up.

04-11-2022

Finally blocking this. I should have gone down a size in order to block and stretch the front design a little more to make it smoother and make the pattern show up more.

Darned belt buckle bulge ruins the smooth lines of the finished project photo.

I think I knitted the perfect size, despite my earlier misgivings. The final blocked size gives 1 inch of positive ease.
