Notes

I got the Autumn Mystery kit. I’m really happy with the colours.
Not sure which mohair colour I’ll use, but I’m leaning more towards Beatrix than Chestnut.

MC - Changing leaves (green)
CC - Autumn flame (red)

Clue 1 - 03/Out-06/Out
Clue 2 - 10/Out-14/Out
Clue 3 - 17/Out-20/Out
Clue 4 - 24/Out-01/Nov

Used both mohair colours on Clue 2: Beatrix on section 4 and Chestnut on section 6

I carried both MC and CC on the i-cord edge of Clue 3. I definitely did not want to weave all those ends!

On Clue 4, used 3 different mohair colours on the tiny bobbles and the wavy border:

  • Glowhair (Beatrix and Chestnut colourways)
  • Manos de Uruguay Cabrito (Autumn colourway)
