Notes

This was a fun, easy knit and it went quickly. Very quickly considering the amount of yarn this used. I used a slightly smaller needle than the pattern recommended because the Tanis Fiber Arts yarn was finger and not sport weight. I think overall it turned out great!

The only modification I made was to cut out the last little bit of the edging pattern - by necessity and not by choice; I played yarn chicken and lost. I don’t think that was essential for the pattern to look good though!

I am very happy with how this turned out. It came out to a great size, perfect for wearing like a scarf; appealing to me as I love knitting shawls but I don’t wear them very often!
