Notes

Mondrian edition: Ooo…Shiny, What the Hay?!, Self Elmolation, TARDIS, and Pop Music

On the last border section I ran out of yarn on row 9 of 10 garter rows with a BO to follow. I know stopping short and BO after only 8 rows would drive me nuts - I would be able to see the difference in border thickness. I have a few options:

  1. Beg for yarn on the internet. I tinked the last row and measured it to see how much I need, and I need about 27 yards to finish.
  2. BO after 8 rows and frog the other side so I can do the same.
  3. Try matching the yarn up with one of the black heel/toe skeins I have from Canon Hand Dyes and finishing with that.

I used Canon Hand Dyes Charles to finish up the edge.
