Notes

Took 18 months and it was the most complex project that I’ve done by far, super happy with the results.

Learned a lot of stitches, realized that regarding color choice, when in doubt I should go with a solid color not tonal or speckled, color is not as crisp as I’d liked, broke 1 set of needles towards the end, lost half skein of my MC and ran out at the bind-off so had to improvise and finished with CC2.

MC --> Lents
CC1 --> Sylvania
CC2 --> Foster Powell
CC3 --> Kenton
