Notes

I made this for my friend’s wedding several years ago and finally took new pictures of it since I couldn’t find my old pictures. I like the pattern a lot (except for the popcorn stitches in the border - so I didn’t put them in and like it HEAPS better without) but I’m so disappointed with the yarn. The yarn is nice and soft but they lie when they say “no dye lot”. I bought all the yarn at the same time and didn’t realized until I’d finished and laid it out to photograph that it was striped because the “no dye lot” dye lots didn’t match. :( also, having watched this blanket age over the last 5 years, it’s not looking quite as crisp with the stitches. I think this was when I decided to never use Caron again.

But my friend loves it!!
