Notes

Attempting to use existing stash yarn for this project, so the colors are a little odd. I have another skein of Plucky if 385 yards does not end up being enough.

First clue came out. The suggested needle I’ll start with is a US4 since my yarn more closely matches the skinny singles vs. sporty merino.

For color assignment and initial skein weights:
Color A - Plucky Grey - 114.5g
Color B - Hedgie Pink - 107.3g
Color C - Hedgie Red - 105.1g
Color D - Space Cadet Blue - 105.6g

Okay, I’m stopping. I’m halfway through clue 2 and wow that solid section is just so boring. The overall pattern, now that I’ve seen the whole thing, just isn’t my style, either. Alas~ This yarn will live to see another day.
