Notes

I highly recommend this project smile

Tension Mast: 9
Tension Dial: 6 (probably too loose)

Not completing the wrap allowed interesting lacy holes to appear in the scarf. I blocked the scarf too aggressively, which took away from the 3D look.

I will definitely try this pattern again and will stick to something with at least 50% wool. Although the pattern had many helpful pictures and explanations, I still had to work hard to figure out how to make the middle pyramid. I decided to cut the yarn. In order to minimize the number of ends to weave in during finishing, I used a method learned in Susan Guagliumi’s Craftsy class. She’s an excellent teacher, and the class was worth every penny.
