Made for, and inspired by, a glorious gradient set = provided by Miss Babs ~ Thank you!
6 skein Mini (200 yds per) Yowza Gradient Set in

This set had to be made into something called Lotus Dragon.

Worked from the lower point upwards.

60” (152.5 cm) Full Measure - Along Curve

Sample Yarn Usage Milestones

Ball 1 (Ring Toss) ~ CO Point to 7.5 Scales Tall
Ball 2 (Kissing Booth) ~ 7.5 to 10.5 Scales Tall
Ball 3 (Bottle Ring) ~ 10.5 to 13 Scales plus 1 Row Tall
Ball 4 (Ring the Bell) ~ 14 to 15 Scales less 1 Row Tall
Ball 5 (Penny Pitch) ~ final Row of Scale 15 (the Curvature Transition Decrease to 10 x 10) plus 16 to 17.5 Scales Tall
Ball 6 (Duck Pond) ~ 17.5 through 18.5 Scales Tall plus Final Transition & Applied BO

old chatter-

Coming Late September 2020! Oops, I got a brain tumor (kinda F’ed up my schedule). So yeah, this is delayed The surgery date is now a week away (Oct 29, 2020) so I doubt it will be done before surgery, like I was aiming for, either.

A new take on the Rub Bua (lotus throwing) Festival shawl theme for the Yowza gradient set (Midway).

After failure on this steeked curve idea

I’ve decided to cut myself some slack; trash the curved shape for now and work a bottom-up triangle so I can just knit until out of yarn - not try to figure exactly for gradient yardage usage. For me right now it’s a lot easier to face the work flat when it’s growing from a few stitches than shrinking from several hundred!

I will do the curve eventually (flat - no steek) since I have the darn thing charted but knit with yarn that won’t need yardage factored in - a solid or build your own gradient from stash. Once I’m 100% on yarn usage I might give another Yowza Gradient set a go.

I did finish a Flat Curved Version Sample see it here:

I blame the tumor for the epic fail idea of steeking - and general laziness of attitude thinking “it’s so much easier to work in the round” Once it got started it really wasn’t any more difficult to do them flat, just more time-consuming.
