Notes

German twisted CO on 4mm circ. needle. 160sts.

Tip:
Measured the “thumb yarn” to be about 20cm per 20 sts (160cm) + 40cm extra = 200cm. Left over yarn is about 40cm, so I’m quite happy!
Just wrote this up for my next project… :D

Changed to 3mm circular on the first round.
Normal k1, p1 (no twisted like I like to do).

Yarns is Drops Alpaca Mix, following colours:
A= 2020 beige
B= 2925 orange
C= 7238 green

Using this instruction for jogless stripes, and it seema to work! http://www.knitdarling.com/videos/2-row-jogless-stripes-i...

8.9.2016
The beige yarn ran out on the last rounds of the lace section, so I continued with orange and used the green yarn as the finishing yarn. Worked out just fine.
I made a Jeny’s super stretchy bind-off, but it’s actually too loose! Iäm too lazy to make try another BO, so this is good enough!
And I have not washed or blocked this (yet), I wanted to take it to use and it’s SO WARM and COZY! LOVE IT!
