Time to flex my test knitting skillz!!!!

01-13-2017

Cast on with a gorgeous cobweb weight initially, with a size 4, had to frog….Tried with smaller needles, snapped the yarn…Got frustrated….

01-17-2017

Over the weekend, through trial and error, I found that using this Lace Weight seems to be working. got through first chart successfully, and am now working my way through addl repeats. Slow and steady !

01-21-2017

Finished 3rd repeat last night…At least 5 more to go on this first chart.

01-22-2017

Finished repeat 4 of Chart 1, on to repeat 5.

01-25-2017

5th repeat of chart 1 complete, and working 6th repeat.

01-26-2017

6th repeat of chart 1 is now done. Working on the 7th.

01-28-2017

7th repeat of chart one complete, on to 8th repeat.

02-04-2017

Finished repeat 8 of Chart 1. 167 grams remaining.

02-5-2017

Started Chart 2 and made it through without issue, finishing on 02-12-2017. 144 grams yarn remains, so on to Chart 3.

03-06-2017

Finished the beaded bind off a few minutes ago and have 113 grams remaining(after doing charts 3 and 4 and the bind off). Uploaded pre blocking photos and will need to do post blocking pics to show the differences….

This has been an AWESOME knit for me. I love the pattern and while I am no expert at reading charts, I was able to follow the instructions without too many issues, as the designer is VERY clear and informative.
