Notes

Abuelita’s Knit-a-long

06/09/2016 - Started Lilli Pilli. Originally cast on 171 as I was afraid it would be too small since I am using lace weight. Knit a few rows and decided it was too wide and I might run out of yarn. Frogged and cast-on the number of stitches per the pattern. Used size 3 needles and like the fabric.

06-12-2016

28 rows or approximately 12% complete.

06-13-2016

Reached 32 rows at lunch then 40 rows at night. I’m off one stitch so I will skip the next decrease and be back on track.

At 40 rows (20 each color) I have used about 10 grams of each skein. I can do a few more rows of each to increase the length a bit more as it will be shorter.

06-19-2016

I did 60 stripes for the first section versus 50; I weighed the yarn and calculated that I had enough for 60 stripes in the first section and 120 in the second section. That will partially compensate for the shorter row height of the lace yarn.

Completed one repeat of the lace. I used stitch markers for each section.

06-26-2016

Finished 3 sections of lace. Trying to remember to move the stitch markers 6 stitches left on the last purl row so they are properly set up for the next lace repeat.

07-15-2016

Finished 14 repeats of the lace that is slightly less than 2/3 of the 50 grams of the malabrigo lace. Unblocked this is about 18-19 inches measured on the diagonal edge.

08-05-2016

40 stripes of the 120 sequence completed. Working on several projects so this is a bit slow.
