Notes

It’s getting bigger, too big, I was thinking. Yet I had an extra skein left, didn’t want it. Then I heard Paula from Knitting Pipeline’s suggestion to put a ruffle on it! Now I’m a pretty novice knitter, but just starting to increase every stitch, see what happens. Bound to create a ruffle, I would think! Thanks Paula!

9/29 - I got into trouble with the ruffle, was harder than I thought. Going in to Crazy Girl tomorrow to unrip! Eager to wear this puppy.

10/21 Got out of trouble with the ruffle, but that ruffle took one whole skein, not happy needs more yarn, to Crazy Girl again!

11/5/11 and now it’s blocking. Much to my dismay the color started running in the ‘wash’ water. I will not be using this yarn again. What happens when I get caught in a rainstorm?
