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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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