Notes

Lovely pattern, and really a lot of fun. I tried several hooks with the Curio and settled on my #2 steel Boye. I must have had this one a while - it is stamped USA 10€. I haven’t seen anything for sale for 10 cents in a long while. The curio has a really nice sheen, pretty colors, good stitch definition.

July 14 Color chart drawn - Using 1 each of Lichens, Navy, Silver, Comfrey, Ice Lily. On the color chart, the vane row color segments need to all be even numbers.

Center circle:
Rows 1-4 Navy
Row 5 Silver
Rows 6-8 Comfrey
Row 9 Ice Lily
Rows 10-12 Lichens

7/15/13 finished the center circle. On to the vanes. :)

Rows 9-10 Comfrey
