Notes

I have not started this, but I’m going to lose the photos if I dont save them. Jeff was thinking he might knit it for me, and he loved these colors. This is a shop sample from Starlight Knitting Society using their custom color.

September 21, 2022

Emailed Starlight Knitting & they said the knitter only needed 4 skeins of DITW, but to keep an eye on knitting gauge to make sure it didn’t take more.

01-20-2023

Before starting the final short row section (the POD one) I only had 6g remaining of my 3rd skein of Spincycle Dyed in the Wool, so I started that row with skein #4. The fourth skein had 36.6g left once I had completed the bind off.

(I did not weight my yarn to start, and Spincycle Dyed in the Wool is sold by yardage, not weight, so it is hard to say how many yards were used. My full skeins of Dyed in the Wool still in stash ranged from 45g-51g per skein with one outlier coming in at 55g)

I also had 20.4g left of my one skein of Barker Wool BFL
