Notes

27-01-2018

I’m going pretty off road this time - using different brands, weights and fibers of yarn but I hope that these will work nicely together.

27-01-2018

Note: Took 6 grams of classic elite (first colour) to do 7R or 1 inch of ribbing. Remember you’ll need 6g before you start the final ribbing at the other end.

Also, if you work with interchangeables, you want to use either the acid green cable or the 14” black / gold cable - to end up with a 24” circular. That’ll let you do this project in the round without having to do magic loop (which is the only way fair isle is fun).

So I messed up the pattern for a couple of rows but it somehow doesn’t bother me - I did it very neatly and coherently! I’m also starting to improve when it comes to carrying 3 colours in the round when only 2 colours are used for most rows - makes for fussy yarn carrying of one colour whille trying to prevent a jog (not there yet) while doing two colour stranded-work for the majority of rows (except occasionally).
