1 nov 2019 - finished!! After so long. So so long. Worked final RS as k2 cdd k2. 5 sts on holder for grafting.
31 oct - chart c complete. 14 rows into chart b.
27 oct - have done some intensive maths - Revisited Pythagoras and and met Heron’s formula - and am 48 per cent of the way through. Have used 150gm so far.
26 oct - finished 4xchart d
22 oct 2019 - starting again, again. Cast on 361sts with lightest ball held double.

5 aug 17 - bummer, frogged it. This yarn is meant to be a lin-lin.
1 aug - worked chart B, row 20.
31 jul 17 - finished chart A. Worked row 8 of chart B
28 jul 17 - I can’t believe that is almost three years. Attempt 2.

12 nov 14 - split the balls and set up plan for alternating them as I go

-or knit in wollmeise dk in Mont Blanc??
- would really like to work w v pale skein so that cast off edge is v light. How to integrate? And how to indeed end at the end. Maybe provisional cast on and knit ribbing to bitter end of that pale skein then take out any superfluous from beginning and graft. No, wouldn’t work bc of increases … are there edge increases in the ribbing? Work ribbing backwards and graft? Can you adequately disguise that it’s a half st off?

  • yarn held doubled
  • palest ball is 73.7 grams. measure weight of final chart rows and estimate how much it will take. just knit the whole ball? be sure to splice at transition
