Notes

General
Excellent pattern as usual from Jana! And as usual the charts look quite daunting but turn out to be anything but once you start.

MC1 Thistle, MC2 Aztec, MC3 Lila fläck, CC1 Plum, CC2 Random Walk

TCKAL cast-on post: #440

Mods
- did not change to smaller needles for the stockinet.

Timeline
2018-07-16: Wasn’t quite satisfied with the fabric I got with 3.25mm needles so unraveled and started over with 3.5.
2018-07-22: It’s far too hot to work in wool right now!
2018-08-12: Finally cool enough to work on this again!
2018-08-18: Looks like I’m going to run out of MC3 before I finish the last striped tweed section.
2018-08-19: Did run out of yarn but the offwhite Fabel was close enough to work as a substitution - rougher texture and not nearly as tightly spun, but the same number of plies and almost identical colour.
2018-08-22: I-cord bindoff looks very nice and tidy but it takes such TIME! But now it’s finished!!
