Notes

29/10/2015 : 1st Westknit Mystery KAL, can’t wait, no very sure of my colors but I wanted something to match my “in love with forest” mood… I had it in mind before buying the pattern; I then realized it matched perfectly Stephen’s recommendations, so…

Finished clue 1 this afternoon. Had to start a 3rd skein of Koigu KPPPM but I knew I would.

Clue 2 almost finished, only have to graft the last 6 sts. I’ve just downloaded clue 3, looks interesting.

Finished at last! I didn’t work part 4 on section 3 as I had used more yarn than estimated on section1.
I didn’t like the picots at 1st, so I chose option 2 on Section 4. But now, though it took some time, I think I could assume them.

Conclusion: many doubts ever since I saw the cabled part, but now I love it and I could even imagine to make another one…
Don’t miss my video and the party I had when it was finished, on Le blog PurPle

Never wore this Doodler unfortunately. The neon cable doesn’t match my hair and I know I won’t wear it. But, good news, it is really beautiful on my mother and brings light to her face and hair, so I offered it to her.
