Notes

Naturally Dyed Superwash Bulky yarn. VERY SOFT. Love the color variation. Bought at Stitches West 2011.
Using smaller needles than called for and cast on 77 stitches (more than called for in pattern). Whoops I think I cast on 96 not 77.

3/20 finished and it’s too big so I’m starting over.. Sheesh. Using size 9 needle and casting on 77 this time, really.

Put a little seed stitch in it to keep it from rolling. Loved the pattern. Even one of the 30 yr old guys I work with said he wanted one (but not in pink)!

4/11/11: Finished the day of DGD’s 2nd Birthday. She LOVES it and it’s big enough to fit for a long long time.
