Notes

what a hard one - tried to alternate solidish ones with variegated and pick up like hues in a “next to” or “next to one down” pattern. have no idea if I succeeded, played with order sooo many times and bought sooooo much potential yarn for this.
pattern calls for 13 skeins, I used 15 for the body. I am not sure yet if I am going to border or not.
Edge w jungle?

plan to use the excess in linen stitch scarves or something like that for gifts.
Crazy cozy.
