Pattern test for Laura Sutcliffe Lkm0
(@Lauralovescrochet on IG).
My frog has ended up being quite large, so making this with 2 strands of DK.
Edit: adjusted this and made it with 1 strand DK, one strand 2ply and 1 strand laceweight.

Tried 2x stash DK-like weight from stash - feels too thick.
May 3, 2026
Trying 2x lilac-grey (the thinner one)
113.83g incl cone - ended up too thick again.
Attempt #3: single lilac-grey, with 1 thread 2ply and 1 thread lace weight.
Ran out of the Sable cream 2ply 2.43g on R9. Joined new thread from big cone.
Did rounds 1-10 (stem part A), plus rows 1-5 of Stem part B.

More work on cap. Starting to join it but need to place st markers in FLs of stem to match st markers on cap - to make it easier to find my place.

Frogged the 8 sts I’d done for joining, so I could more easily place the st markers in the FLs. Needed to use a needle to see them better, then my st count was fine.
Note to self: Don’t do this at night!!
