First time knitting stranded colorwork. Cast on 96 stitches, because my yarn and needles are a bit thicker. I hold both yarns in my right hand and now found out it would be better to hold the background color on my index finger and the foreground on my middle finger, instead of vice versa, For future me: dominant color, foreground color should go below the background color (http://paper-tiger.net/blog/13911317/colordominance).

I will skip all the knit rows during the decreasing, because I think it will be too big otherwise. I also didn’t use the bottom of the diagram for the same reason.

Finished it! I don’t own DPN, so I did the decreases on two circular needles when it got too small. It came out a bit large, but still wearable I hope ^^ I think I could have done this in one day :)

I only noticed after taking pictures that I messed up one row of the stars :D Oh and I also did a 1x1 K, P rib, because I can’t read.
