Caryl’s kerchief is blocking. This was an overall good project. I really enjoyed the beading part however fiddly. A one skein wonder, this is. An impressive gift at a reasonable price. There will be more in my future.
Afterthoughts: next time I would knit the last row in a size larger needle. I didn’t get the winged effect that is pictured in the pattern and I think part of that is due to the tight bind off row. Even with a size larger needle, with the beading, it is really tight. I don’t know if I’ve ever knitted something without “what would I do differently next time” afterthoughts.
After this first Koigu experience I am getting excited about the prospect of Charlotte #2. I will do this one larger, on larger needles, and will bead the edge instead of using fringe. It’s time consuming but oh so elegant.
