Notes

Definitely leans leftward.

I'm not getting the PW2 at all.

I think that I understand the PW2 now.

8th Jan: 8 leaves done
9th Jan: 14 leaves - still on 1st ball of MC
10th Jan: 18 leaves. 2nd ball joined in.
11th Jan: 21 leaves
13th Jan: 26 leaves. Third ball joined in

I’m wondering how many leaves is average for a finished Leftie. My yarn seems to be going a very long way.

14th Jan. Cast off at 28 leaves. Ready to block.
15th Jan: Blocking (gently)

relaxed after blocking, top edge is approx 78”

The fabric has a good drape but is dense enough to beat the chill. I really do not think that the 2.5mm needles suggested on the pattern page would give a very good result at all - the fabric would be far too stiff.

Washed and re-blocked to enter in the 2013 Sanday Show, where it took a surprising 2nd.
