Notes

A bit of a modification. I pinned the wavy border to create a pointy boarder. Love it!

Floats. Do we catch them or allow them to roam
freely?

I broke my own rule of catching more than 5 slipped stitches in a row. Rules are meant to be broken once in a while. I just made sure the stitches that I slipped were not bunched nor not too loose as to make holes in the fabric.

Ordered 4 skeins of beautiful teal yarn today.
December 26th is the pattern reveal date.

Caking today, excited to see what I’ll be knitting. Saw a sneak peak on IG. Might be slipping some stitches. and bobbles?

December 28, 2020

Finally found time to cast on today!
Should I go with the dark MC, or the light MC? I really liked the Slipstavaganza with the dark MC. They reminded me of stained glass windows.
Must decide soon!

I just received an answer to my question about floats. Good thing I did not catch floats!

Currently on Section 3: Dots and Bubbles, row 13.

January 9, 2021

Second set of Dots are finished. Bubbles in CC3 are in progress.

Thumb is a bit better for now.

LOVE this knit. It looks as though there is no more use of the MC after the second set of bubbles. So, the amount of MC yarn is sufficient!

The Wavy Border is in progress.

But the directions are for the WS. This pattern ends with the WS already completed. Must figure this out because I am ready to bind off!

I will check if it’s mentioned anywhere in the threads. It’s not included in Stephen’s Hiberknitalong video.

No mention in the threads, so I just followed the directions to bind off after the WS row. Turned out just fine.

January 14, 2021 Blocking

Yup! Done!
