Notes

Another good pattern by Kieran.


Personal notes

  • Modification: beaded garter stitch edging, all around.
  • The wool-silk combination gives is less stretch. To make the 7-stitch-nupps, I made huuuge loops (1 cm in length).
  • I used flexible (Succaplokki) stitch markers between each 10-stitch-nupp-repeat to avoid counting.
  • In the second chart, there are a couple of rows in between where hardly anything happens. I automatically worked this as a RS and WS row, but it is a single row.
  • In the second chart as well - I missed the ‘b’s (ktbl) and included them in the stitch count -> my mistake.
  • Again the second chart: I simply taped the left and right chart next to each other, resulting in a large, complete, full chart.

No extra rows, but a cast off edge with beads. Two days work.

Started final chart D. I may add a couple of rows to use up more yarn. Plus beads.

June 22, 2010
Adding beads (and stitch markers again for each repeat) to chart C, instead of the nupps.

Finished the second chart (without using stitch markers, with patterning on RS & WS) - phew. This chart may seem a lot of work or difficult, but there is a lot of stockinette in between. I counted all the time.

Thanks Kim for your help with the second chart.

While watching the WC Soccer, into chart B. Lace on RS and WS, so more attention needed.
