notes

  • Oh goodness! I had so many notes, but I waited so long to write this post that I don’t remember most of them. I have them written down though. If anyone wants to know the knitty gritty details, let me know. 🙂
  • I converted the pattern to knit in the round instead of flat. This was awesome, but I’m not sure I like the way I did the decreases in the round. I did them “gusset style” but thinking back I should have done them all decreasing toward a center line.
