Notes

Worked out from 4 others plus my sample 31 that it’s right about 4 chains per inch to start. So I want to make a queen size = 88inches wide. I chained 350+3 = 353 to start. 25 ripple repeats.

Goal is to do 96 rows.

Knit Picks Dishie really feels to me more like a DK/Sport weight. It works in OK but definitely lighter weight than the other cottons. I REALLY like working with it though.


Timeline

{Jan.31.2012} - 3 stripes done. Measured again and it’s just about 88” wide (if not more like 89)

{Feb.01.2012} - 4.5 stripes = 9 rows done

{Feb.08.2012} - 15 stripes = 30 rows done

{Feb.12.2012} - 23.5 stripes = 47 rows done

{Feb.15.2012} - 27 stripes = 54 rows done

{Feb.17.2012} - 31 stripes = 62 rows done

{Mar.01.2012} - 39 stripes = 78 rows done

{Dec.08.2012} - Pathetically realizing that I most definitely lost steam on this project. So I’m putting this in hibernation where it belongs. See you next year, ripple!
