i threaded that loop/stitch through 4 beads, then looped it back around the bottom bead to lock in place. i only worry that the yarn will wear out there and split.

i’ll cross that bridge when i come to it. i LOVE my gaia trapezoid! ❣

DONE! just need to figure out what to do with the center stitch. a bead is in order, i think!

now suspended because this has hijacked my size 6 40” circular -- can’t wait to get back to this tho -- it is SO pretty!

now it will be a trapezoid. ;-) the new year’s first pattern mod! see the blog post for more details…

started this beautiful stole, but i’ve decided i’ve wanted to knit the shoulder hug for a long time, so will frog the several inches i knit last night and restart the gaia.

gotta go find size 5 needles… or maybe i’ll try it with a larger needle size to increase the airiness of the pattern. hmmmmmm ;-)
