Notes

I am using the concept of Val Campion, but knitting after the center panel chart from Eunny Jang.

Cast on 106 for one more pattern repeat in width.

Skein has 107 g to start with.

Cast on + 5 repeats: 17g
Repeats 6 to 10: 17g
Repeats 11 to 15: 14g (no clue what has happend here, counted my repeats twice…)
Repeats 16 to 20: 16g
Repeats 21 to 25: 14g
Repeats 26 to 30: 15g
Repeats 31 to 34 and bind off: 1g

Size unblocked 120 x 37 cm

Swoosh, off to soak and block… There is more than slight color bleeding involved, so several rinses and a vinegar soak.

Blocking to 190 x 56 cm, not very aggressively.

I dropped and repaired a stitch when knitting and was afraid it would show. Couldn’t even find the spot when blocking :-)
