The pattern was wonderfully clear. I can’t imagine being able to write patterns like that, you are very talented.
Holli was an excellent instructor and, judging from her clarity and talent in that role, I’m sure that her patterns must be very well-written and clear.
This is a very clearly written pattern and it was a pleasure to knit!
The lovely thing about knitting is you can always pull it out and do it again if you make a mistake. It’s very forgiving.
Great pattern … that is fun and easy to make. Have already purchased yarn for 2 more and have inspired others in my knitting group to make it, too.

Tutorial
Shadow Wrap Short Rows
The Shadow Wrap Short Row method, developed by Alice Yu of the Socktopus blog uses one of my favourite increases—the raised increase, sometimes called lifted increase. One of the reasons the raised increase is my favourite is because it’s the most invisible and that’s also why it lends itself so nicely to this short row technique.
