But, instead, I went with a baktus. It was a bit funny looking in garter, so I switched to moss stitch and fell madly in love with it. I thought it was kinda too 'distinct' to give as a gift, but a friend admired it two weeks ago (while I was knitting it) and it was her birthday last week, so...
Naturally, I immediately cast on a baktus for me. I am using the sundara that I started a baktus with many moons ago, but it wasn't right, and the moss stitch has come to the rescue again.
