Notes

Welp, looks like I am jumping on the bandwagon with everyone else! I have decided to use up all my MadTosh minis along with the leftovers I have from my socks. I think a big area of WWW breaking up my mad tosh “rainbow” will be beautiful.

To help myself keep track of what color is up next I will add 3 asterisks to each color as I join it to the project.

Just finished section 4, this is a really nice relaxing knit.

01-09-2017

Section 5 complete! I was planning to spend some time weaving in and snipping ends today on the light rail and realized I left my notions bag at home so onward to Section 6!

01-10-2017

Section 6 is done!

01-11-2017

All done increasing!

01-12-2017

Section 7 complete!!! I’m really enjoying this so much!

01-16-2017

Section 8 complete!

01-23-2017

Section 9 complete! I am starting to think I have a lot more yarn than I need in my plan…I am thinking I will only use some of the Whole Wide World I have available but I think I’ll worry about that when I get there!

01-24-2017

Finished Section 10!

01-26-2017

Section 11 done!!!

01-27-2017

So as I am nearing the end it looks like I definitely have more WWW than I need. If I use it all I will not make it into my last 10 or so minis. I think I am going to knit through Section 12 and about 5-10 rows into section 13 with WWW and then continue on with the remaining minis.

I’m in the home stretch now!

01-30-2017

Section 12 done!!!

Knit 4 rows in section 13 with WWW and will now move forward with my minis! Only about 200 yards left to knit!

02-03-2017

It’s finished!!! I ended up weaving in about 25 more ends even though I knit two colors together for at least 10-15 stitches at each color change. After all the weaving and snipping it looks pretty amazing…I can’t wait to find somewhere to take really good pictures of this. I will try to block and measure this weekend.

02-22-2017

Finally blocked last week and love it even more now!!!
