Notes

I’ve bought the kit for size Medium, but have decided to make a size Large instead. This means that theoretically I’ll be 2.5 meters short for colours A and C and will have to compensate accordingly. Will see how this goes. I’ve frogged my swatch to use.

About to separate the sleeves and body. There’s quite a colour difference in my Dusk skeins, so I’m alternating them every second row.
There’s also a small carpet python that nearly crawled over my feet while I was knitting outside a few minutes ago. Nearly caused a disaster! Luckily the cat saw it and I leapt out of the way.

Second fade completed.

I ended up with enough yarn from the medium kit to knit the large. There was a little bit left over of colours A and C, and plenty of the others.
