Notes

Rory won first place at the 2020 Virtual Alameda County Fair trophy first_place_medal

Excellent pattern! Will definitely knit a pattern from this designer again two_heartsblush

  • 18 mm Darice safety eyes
  • Alternated between magic loop and DPNs depending on the number of stitches. Sometimes it was difficult to move stitches around on circulars
  • Shadow wraps are now my prefered way to short row. If I got distracted, it was easy to find my place.
