Pattern Notes

Pattern
This was a quick knit. I picked this pattern because I wanted to learn a different way to do short-rows. The toes are done in short-rows as well, and you kitchener your stitches closed at the bottom of your toes. I like the look of it. The short-rows, however, don’t look as filled in as I would like. I think I’ll probably stick with the original wrap/turn short-row method, but this was fun to learn.

Yarn
This yarn was on sale at a LYS, and was handdyed by a local knitter. And of course, I’m all for supporting not just my LYS, but local knitters as well. The colorway was fun and very spring-like. While I was knitting it up, it reminded me alot of watermelons.
