Notes

Circus Tonic Handmade Campside Cardi KAL cast on March 1st.

My initial impression is - why are there so many pages to print out, surely the charts could be arranged better to fit on less pages - for example page 8 is ridiculous. There is schematic info, but no schematic, no sleeve circumference measurements are given.

The pattern contains only one picture of the cardigan and that is of the back.

Just started Chart 1. I’m assuming that I purl one row before starting the chart, otherwise it starts on a purl row.

Not sure about having a k2tog right on the end of the row - think I’ll tink back and leave this eyelet out, also there is no matching eyelet at the start of the row to make it symmetrical.

Not doing any of the pattern that is within a couple of stitches of the ends of the rows - I don’t want to distort the edges.

3 repeats of Chart 1.
Loving this yarn!

Finished! I really appreciate how the designer has listened to feedback from people and updated the pattern. It is much better formatted now & not so many pages to print out.
Still no actual schematic - but lots more schematic type measurements included.

Once it’s blocked I’ll get some more pics up.
