BLUE MOON July KAL with Boo

In the spirit of twilight stars, I’m going with Miyuki 1884 size 6 rounds, Violet gold lustered

The yarn is a dream to work with! I’m in love!

Modifying the pattern to get less of the ladders and more webbing:

  • 6 times body chart on 4mm needles
  • jump to row 9 of chart 3
  • chart 4 once
  • 4 times chart 5
  • chart 6

Simple suspended bindoff, because I didn’t have yarn for anything else… And I had to change to a normal BO for last 30 stitches or so. Ahem.

Starting weight of skein: 100g
Setup, chart 1, and 5 times chart 2: 82g
Sixth time chart 2: 77g
Chart 3 (rows 9-18): ?
Chart 4 once: 61g
Chart 5 once: 53g
Chart 5 twice: 42g
Chart 5 three times: 31g
playing yarn chicken, and I refuse to give in…
Chart 5 four times: 24g after 4 rows, 22g after 6 rows, 19g after the whole repeat
Chart 6 row 2: 16g
Chart 6 row 4: 12g
Chart 6 row 6: 8g
After binding off: 0g, virtually no yarn, just enough to weave in the end

90 g of beads used, nearly 1,100 beads
