Notes

Think this might be the right yarn for the Cinna colorway. Has beautiful stunning details much like Cinna. Also having an itch to do a half-circle shawl with motifs. I think this might be the right one.

Only worry is where the color changes may happen and if I will have enough yarn for it. But it can be tweaked for less yarn.

Started with size 5 needles. I like a bit more density to my shawl/ettes. Switched to 6 after first chart instead of row 9. Looks okay.

Hope to complete for NY Sheep & Wool. crosses fingers

Cast on
Completed Chart 1
4-5 gms used (3%)
Completed Chart 2
14 gms total used (9%)

8-26-12 (just barely the 26th) -
Completed Chart 3
46 gms total used (29.5%)
Some of the knitting done while watching The Hunger Games. Kinda perfect timing.

8-27-12 -
Completed one repeat of Chart 4
60 gms total used (38.5%)
14 gms for one repeat
If 4 repeats, should be 98 used. Might just do two so I will have enough yarn to complete chart 5 & 6a-b & bind off.

8-29-12 -
Completed two repeats of Chart 4
72 gms total used (46%)
I am only going to do two repeats in hopes of having enough yarn to finish 5, 6 a, b & edging.
Completed rows to prep for next chart
82 gms total used (52.5%)

8-31-12 -
Completed Chart 5
108 gms total used (69%)
Kinda worried I won’ have enough. sigh

9-2-12 -
Half way through Chart 6a
18 gms used for half the repeat.
If 32 gms for 6a, it leaves 16 gms.
Finishing 6b & bindoff is looking doubtful

9-3-12 -
Completed Chart 6a
Only 8 gms left. Hmmm…
Not sure how I will finish…
After one row of 6b only 4 gms left. Not gonna make it.

Asked Maylin to dye more yarn when she next does a batch of dyeing. Looks like she may be able to dye another 50 gms so I can finish this. crosses fingers

9-9-12 -
Completed rows 212 & 213
Thought I would have only enough for 212, but got two row done & have a little left.
