Notes

Featured on Episode 3,4,5,6 of The Artsy Knitter podcast

I am excited about wearing this once i saw The Yarnista rock this badass piece that sealed the deal.I love that it has an artistic twist with the fact you can wear is many different ways that is also a very wise fashion choice as well.
I have a very specific idea of what i wanted for Color and after looking at Mad tosh and Cascade hand painted silk i found the perfect Purple to stand out for this piece. It almost Glow like a NEON Purple not dull at all.It a blue -purple but images so far and not shwoing it properly.

Mar14/14@3am lol

  • i went up to 4.5mm because koigu is a springy and seemingly thinner yarn since the gauge on the band was 9 st off seems to work thus far.
  • i did wish i had read the entire instruction because i will try on my second one to organize purl rows to be on all the edges without messing with the pattern so the edges don’t roll. Mar15th: just on my second repeat of the 6.. great tv knitting and the excitement of the finished piece keep my focused! then i ended up having to frogging back 25 rows because i miss a tiny bit of purl at the Bindoff row

Mar16 back on track half way through the 2nd repeat

Mar29th : would have finished already but started other things due to restlessness! but this can be good for Knit nights if as long as you know you just have to pay attention at ROW 11/12 23/24 47/48 you will be fine! after a while you will just know !
