Notes

With Expansion Pack. I had a kit from Knit Picks, and I did not use all the yarn. I think the amounts used are different due to using Expansion pack. Amount of yarn used determined by weighing balls after the project.

I did most (but not all) of the Kitchener grafting as I went along. This made it more tolerable - grafting all of these pieces after I was finished would have been pretty painful.

I did not knit the borders on the hexagons. I left the stitches live on the outer borders, holding them on pieces of yarn. 4 stitch edging knitted on after all pieces were grafted together. On outer corners, I knitted one extra row of before and after the point stitch. On the inside corners, I knitted two stitches together (making it a five stitch I-cord) the stitches before and after then very center stitch on the corner. Initially I started knitting on the I-cord from the back. I did this for three blocks, but found that the I-cord rolled and was unattractive. I ripped it out and knitted on the I-cord from the front of the afghan.

Started on Christmas ski vacation 2017. This’ll take awhile…
