Notes

CO 104 using twisted German cast on
Start decreases at 7”

Finished knitting on 1/9/18 - perfect timing since Michelle starts radiation tomorrow. I just need to block it and weave in ends then it’ll be on its way.

Blocking 1/11/18. The yarn bled profusely in the soak. I rinsed it 8 times and it was still bleeding so I added some vinegar to the water; that finally stopped the bleeding. Will pop it in the mail this weekend.

Notes on the yarn: beautiful, gorgeous, soft, smoosh, great hand, bleeds like crazy when soaked, and blooms nicely when blocked. I would use this yarn forever and ever.
