I thought I was smart and I substituted the decrease at the top with a CDD (it’s at Row 39, Seat 9). But, looking at it now, I can see that my “fix” wasn’t better. The decrease they have there (SK2P) is better. It’ll allow that decrease line to continue. whereas mine looks a little bulky.
What I Used
Yarn: Berroco Renew in 1360 Blue Tang – 35% Viscose, 30% Wool, 30% Nylon, 5% Cashmere (164 yds [150 m] per 50 g)
Needles: US#7 (4.5 mm) sharp steel tips (Chiaogoo – affiliate link)
Blocking Method: Steam
Other Thoughts: This yarn is WONDERFUL! The stitch definition, the sproinginess, the hand, the softness and the depth of color (it’s a solid but the strand isn’t just a single color). And while it says to handwash it, I suspect it’ll take to a washer just fine. I don’t think I’d put it in a dryer, although I’ve been known to knit up a swatch to see how it does in both the washer and dryer.
The yarn was sent to me by Berroco, but the above opinions are all mine.

She’s also on a mission to get everyone to embrace the blocking. And, to avoid using garter stitch edges in knit swatches made for gauge.
And while she likes all things crafting (well ok, except that one thing), yarn crafts are her true love (and she has the stash to prove it).
