Notes

01-03-2016

I seemed to have one extra stitch after each of the first two stripe sections. Easily adjusted for by making a KFB instead of a KFBF.

2/4/16

No more problems with the extra stitches.

Ran out of first ball of MC at stripe section 5, 1st MC row.

2/20
Starting to panic slightly about MC. 22 grams left in the main ball (which is in a yarn sleeve) plus a bit in a second ball because ballwinder problems early on. 3 rows left of last garter section before stripey last section. 32 grams total left (without sleeve) for 38 more rows of MC plus BO…according to my calculations I used 1 gram for the last row…

February 21, 2016

18 grams left for 23 more rows & BO. So I’ve used, um, 14 grams for 15 rows. YEP. It’s official. I’m not going to make it.

February 24, 2016

Third skein of the natural, 103 grams. Made it to the 5th row of the 8th stripe section.

Needed 7 grams of the third skein.
