Notes

37g of yarn left ;-). Not sure about the blocking: I really like it this way and I think it also fits the pattern but I also like the original way of blocking where more emphasis lies on the edging.

Changes are:

In the transition between yucca and agave: used the bunnyears stitch in combination with yo to make the two yo lines symmetrically sprouting from the starting yo line.

In the agave: did a 5stitch nupps in the middle of the first two beads instead of beads ; used in the 3rd and 4th right side row only k2tog and ssk and decrease the two stitch in the following wrongside.

In the final agave: introduced a third yarn over line (s2k1psso in between) with a 5 stitch nup at the end.

In the edging: only used nupps on some parts of it and skipped the last right and last wrong side row of the edging with some small adjustments.

Changed a bit in the agave chart and will also change some things in the edging. hopes not to run out of yarn

nupps are a pain with silk but are beautiful and actually not so difficult with another method to knit them, but still time consuming.

Hand dyed with Ashford acid dyes.
