HPKCHC Charms OWL Winter 2018 Failed

May Detention

Modifications:

  • provisional CO total stitches onto spare interchangeable needle with main yarn, not scrap (place markers for each chain) and then start knitting

  • after forming sleeves, you need to purl across, not knit. (I think this is due to how I did my provisional CO)

  • not a modification, but worth mentioning: I flipped my knitting right side out before starting the ribbing

January 1, 2018

Swatch with US 4:
CO 30 sts.
Knit 6 rows.
Row 7: K3, work chart A twice, K3.
Continue for 4 repeats of chart A.
Knit 6 rows
BO loosely

OWL proposal approved :)

January 6, 2018

CO and knit setup rows

January 7, 2018

Knit 1 repeat. I plan to knit one per day for the next two weeks.

January 10, 2018

Three repeats finished. So far I’m on track to have the sleeves finished by Jan. 20. Hopefully I can get ahead on the weekends and beat that progress!

January 14, 2018

And now I’m a bit behind. I have a little over 5 repeats finished, but I need 14 by Saturday. I’m not going to be able to work on much else this week.

January 21, 2018

Definitely behind on my self-imposed “one repeat per day,” but I should still be able to have the sleeves and neckline completed this week so that I can try on the cardigan. That’s my hope anyway!

January 24, 2018

I’m finally working on the 14th repeat of the pattern, which I’ve been working toward. And I’ve just finished my first skein of yarn!

January 27, 2018

Finished sleeves and ribbing

January 28, 2018

BO for neck and started working lace section again

February 21, 2018

Submitted 50% for OWL

February 26, 2018

I’ve finished charts A, B, C, and all but two rows of D. I’m planning to repeat chart E until I use up all of my yarn.

April 1, 2018

Finished knitting one extra repeat. Only ribbing and BO left.

April 21, 2018

Finally finished the final ribbing and BO. I just need to weave in the ends and block.
