Notes

Test knit for al-fa knits.
Long-tail cast-on. It’s delightful to see the colours come out as I knit this.
Starts off like a little shoot sprouting from its seed, then slowly matures into a beautiful clover.

Restarted 26Nov as I had somehow carried the colour change on the RS of work ?! Silly me. I can only say I was probably in knitter’s denial as I’d nearly come to CC2 part before restarting the whole project.
03Dec Cast off!

My notes:
♥ Carry colour change on the WS of work!
♦ Don’t pull too tightly (loosen up!) at each end to prevent puckering.
♣ To aid with counting stitches, demarcate every 30 sts from middle marker with stitch markers. MM would need to be distinct from the other markers ☺.
♠ Bind off - used 4.5mm for 135 sts each side of MM, 5.0mm for the rest.

MC - Electric Bloom (119g left 26g)
CC1 - Medieval (119g left 28g)
CC2 - Stovepipe (107g left 84g)
