Modified from 8 wedge to 10 wedge to more effectively maximize yarn usage in the long term.

I highly recommend printing the pattern in color rather than gray scale, at minimum for page 8. I had to reprint the pattern because I could not distinguish beaded stitches from no stitches from special stitches.

Finished part 1!

Just under 20% through first skein, just under 5% through total yardage after row 33.

01-01-2018

Finished part 2 and passed 50% of first mini-skein.

01-03-2018

Finished part 3.

01-05-2018

At ~15% remaining of the first mini-skein, started alternating every row with second mini-skein after row 90.

01-07-2018

Finished part 4.

01-09-2018

Finished first mini-skein and completed transition to second mini-skein at row 105.

01-11-2018

Ripped back to row 101. Going to improvise some nupps in this next segment to eat up yarn.

01-16-2018

Broke my wrist. This is going to be on hold for a while…

03-28-2018

First time working on this since breaking my wrist. Worked a full row!!!

04-15-2018

Finished part 5! And started blending in the 2nd mini-skein with ~6g (18%) of the second skein left.

04-22-2018

Completed part 6. Fully switched to mini-skein 3 for the first row of the edging.

04-29-2018

After four rows of edging (2 rs, 2 ws), placed a lifeline and began experimenting with incorporating nupps to eat up more yardage.

06-19-2018

Fully transitioned to mini-skein 4.
