A finished Kiri! Here are my thoughts:
1. The provisional cast on is unnecessary. I simplified it with a similar cast on to the one in the Charlotte pattern.
2. My last skein was a different colour lot – way different. I’m glad I discovered it towards the end as it looks appropriately like a border.
3. I think I’ll add a bead to each point of the scallop.
4. A self striping yarn would be nice with this pattern. The one I used was a bit too subtle.
5. I skipped the last row as I was running low on yarn and it doesn’t seem to have made a significant impact on the design. Here’ s what I had left after fixing the three mistakes I found during blocking:
Elina, who just found out that she passed her RN exam, as if there would be a different outcome, left to join the real world in Edmonton. Mari, who deliberated all day about returning to her academic semester of her co-op program, or to skip it and complete another work term, is leaving to UVic tomorrow. Chuck leaves in the morning to go to Minnesota to attend his mother’s memorial service, which will take place on what would have been her 92nd birthday. And Bryant starts grade 10. All these necessary life transitions…
