Notes

Garter stitch body, bigger than the one in the pattern, because I made every right side row of the body like this: k2, kfb, kn, kfb, k2, instead of k2, kyok, kn, kyok, k2. My mistake, I’m getting old.
Extended lace section. Easy to remember pattern.
Lace Border: What a nightmare. It was easy, indeed. But I repeat, I’m getting old. I had to frog two or three times and I knew it wasn’t difficult at all. Well, according to what is happening in the rest of my life, I’m going through a bad time.
Anyway, it took me forever. And it’s so big that I can’t block it in our tiny apartment in Barcelona - I’ll have to wait until we go to the beach house to see the results.
The yarn, as every Greta and the fibers yarn, was excellent and gorgeous.
Ah, and I didn’t use beads. So far, I don’t like them


Cuerpo con punto de bobo, más grande que el del patrón, porque hice todas las vueltas del derecho así: k2, kfb, kn, kfb, k2 en lugar de de k2, kyok, kn, kyok, k2. Me equivoqué, me estoy haciendo mayor.
Parte de calados grande. Patrón fácil de recordar.
Orilla de calados: vaya una pesadilla. Era fácil, efectivamente, pero repito, me estoy haciendo mayor. Tuve que deshacer dos otres veces, y sabía que no era difícil en absoluto. Bueno, de acuerdo al resto de cosas que están pasando en mi vida, estoy pasando una mala época.
El caso es que no se acababa nunca. Y es tan grande que no lo puedo hormar en nuestro minúsculo piso de Barcelona. Tendré que esperar hasta que vayamos a la casa de la playa para ver los resultados.
La lana, como todas las de Greta and the fibers, excelente y preciosa.
Ah, y no le he puesto cuentas. Por el momento, no me gustan.
