Notes

I made a boo boo and worked about 2”, then realized I should have sized down a needle size, but didn’t think the yarn would tolerate frogging. So instead of starting over, I just switched needles before the colorwork section.

I spent the whole colorwork section wondering what to do to make the ends meet. So I just went back to the 4 US in the plain part of the cowl after the colorwork. It’s going to pull in at the colorwork, but I’ve made my peace with it.

I should have sized down to do the braids. UGH. They’re wavy. Note to self to size down for both the braids AND the center moss stitch section. I DID size down for the moss stitch and used a 2? Or did I? I think I did. Yes.
