Blackberries + transition chart: 6g (94g left of skein)
Bleeding heart chart: 22g (72g left of skein)
Waterlilies chart, 1st repeat: 20g (52g left of skein), 2nd repeat: 23g (29g left of skein)
Edging: 18g (11g left of skein)
Picot BO: 7g (4g left of skein)

Nupps Sigh - remember not to knit them so tight!
Remember to buy new needles too! Pointy ones!!!
Remember to add instructions for nupps and 5into5. Checked (below).
Remember to talk about the immense pleasure I have knitting this! I LOVE IT!!!!

Hiro’s trick to knit nupps :
Slip the loops of the nupp one by one knitwise yarn forward until you have just two or three loops on the left needle, then purl those together and pass the slipped stitches over one by one. Same result, and saves your wrists.

For the 5 into 5 : Slip each stitch one by one knit wise then pass them back reoriented to the left needle , then make the 5x5 tbl. It helps make the first knit stitch, and once that is done, it’s not as hard to get cleanly into the stitches, as that first knit stitich holds them open and together.
