Notes

2017-03-10

Swatched garter, stockinette and moss stich. Used 4.0 mm needles for the different patterns and then 4.5 mm needles for the last stockinette part. I’ve decided to use 4.5 mm needles in stockinette because I’m tired of garter, and might use some moss stitch as added interest. The 4.5 mm needles gave a looser and flowier fabric, I liked that.

I will stripe evenly, 4 by 4 rows of green and multi. 2x2 was too busy.

Green stockinette, multi green multi for texture sections

Done done done! :D It’s pretty big and very squishy. Needs to be weighed and measured and washed/blocked still, but the ends are woven in!

I did end up playing with the striping pattern a little, varying the width of the stockinette (4 or 6 rows) and usually doing 3 sections of pattern with the multicoloured yarn (= 12 rows)

Weighing in: Numbers very approximate since I forgot to weight the skeins before I started knitting. I have 7 grams of Morning Fenceline left and 53 grams of Tree Greens.
