Notes

The Tweed Stripes is the lightest 5-weight yarn I’ve ever used, not a compliment when I was going for a warm throw.

Also, the throw seemed to shrink when washed. I’m not happy--pattern is nice but now just too small (I blame the yarn). I’ve told my brother-in-law (through my sister, too embarrassed to tell him) that I’ll make him another one, his color choice and pattern choice.

The orange brown in the bottom picture is NOT Cheetos--it’s our kitchen table showing through the holes.
