4.) Create a project page indicating yarns used, needle size and added photos.
5.) Post your completed survey (below) in the test thread.
You may enter Tester Code: TEST-AM-3PLBCB to link your project page to the future pattern page.

Survey:
What type/weight of yarn did you use? Cotton DK and Cotton/Linen light DK held doubled
What size needle did you use? Size 4 for cast on and bind off, size 5 for body
How much yarn did you use (estimated yardage or weight)? MC 102g CC 112g but divide by 2 = 56g (CC was used double)
Was the pattern layout easy to read and follow? Yes
Did you work primarily from written instructions or charts or both? Both
Were there any parts of the pattern you found confusing? Which ones and why? No confusing directions
What errors in the pattern were not already mentioned in the thread? None

2/9/2019 started with single strand of Mercurio but seemed too thin; restarted using Mercurio doubled…seem to be right on the pattern gauge.
2/11/2019 starting third pattern repeat.
2/12/2019 finished 3rd pattern repeat — using 12g MC, 8 (16)g CC per pattern repeat — remember that CC is doubled!
Piece measure 12” wide x 12.75” long — unblocked.
2/19/2019 finished at 7 full repeats -- because I don’t have enough CC to complete another repeat.

Modifications:
Used size 4 needle for Chinese Waitress Cast on
