Intswemodo #6

Testing this design. Due late July.

Ever since my Rav friend sent me this yarn, I hoped for a perfect design. The yarn colors are gorgeous.

4/30 Worked my swatch. Waiting for it to dry.

Gauge with US 6 was 25 x 32. Had to go up a needle and hope for a better result.

5/4 Finally able to CO.

5/15 Almost ready to start hip shaping.

5/16 I’ve been knitting for years and still have an issue with how to work M1R and M1L. I knit Continental, left handed and my stitches always sit on the needle a different way than most knitters, so I always need to switch instructions around. This is a great video to figure out how to make these increases.

5/18 body finished and first sleeve half way done.

Yarn usage:

1. Used all of the lighter color
2. 15 grams of second color left
3. 18 grams of third color left
4. 14 grams of contrasting color left
