Notes

I think I’m going to use the US abalone for the solid portions, and use some leftover gloss lace for the lacy sections. I think I’ll use the purple at the neck and work down to the blue-greens.

Used the lilac for all three lace sections, it worked perfectly with the first two Unique Sheep colors. Not sure I’ll end up using the Winter Night colorway at all, unless at the very bottom. Two rows into the solid section after the full lace section and just switched to the third Unique Sheep skein. Looking very pretty but smaller than expected -- but will stretch a lot with blocking I’m sure.

Didn’t have enough Eos to do both shell sections, so ended up with just one shell section. I used three rows each of the last two gradient skeins, so not a whole lot of green rows but it actually looks quite pretty. I added clear beads on the last row. Going to use the lilac for the two rows of single crochet across the neckline. I’m pretty happy with how this turned out, just wish I had had enough yarn to do both shell sections.

apt 11 yards per gram. amount is kinda messed up between this and the Peacock but I have about 28 grams left, mostly skeins 5 & 6
