Notes

Well I decided to do each section in alternating colors red and brown…. here’s hoping It looks ok!
7/26/12 Finished second sequence in pattern and mmmmmmm LOVE IT!!!! NOTE: for the first ridged eyelets section, if you are changing colors every section, continue old color for row one of Ridged Eyelet as it ribs out…the seam shows both colors if you don’t. After that follow pattern and change color every section. I counted the RS and WS rows and that is the only odd ball row. Thank goodness for safety’s!! Note to self… Change colors only on RS of work!!!
7/27/12 Finished sequence three!!!!
7/29/12 Finished sequence four!!!!! Almost done!
7/30/12 Following Chibisuke pattern notes to increase after row 80.
Increased one Eyelet section, and one more knotted openwork section, then started ruffle edging and picot bind off. Half way done with bind off 11/20/12
DONE!!! What a dream to knit, It really does knit up quick if you focus on it! It’s a wonderful pattern to introduce yourself to new technique’s and stitches! Very rewarding FO, I can’t believe this pattern is one of the freebies! Thanks author!!! ♥
