“When in doubt wear red.”

• Bill Blass (fashion designer)

The people have spoken; I shall use the red!
I’ll use the silver-lined gold beads in the spacers where you’ll see regular beading, but the silver-lined red beads for any beading in the lace panels for a more subtle effect.

2/12/11: CO using 3.25mm circular needle and German long-tail co. Switched to 2.25mm circular; beaded spacer done (8rows).
4/12/11: Finished first repeat of Day 1. Only now do I realize the errata saying “slip 2 sts as if to knit, not as if to purl”. Not tinking this; will do the 2nd repeat correctly and look at the difference.
6/12/11: Third time’s the charm. After finishing Day 1 yesterday I decided to start again on a 2.25mm circular needle. Finished Day 1 today. Yay! At this rate I’ll finish early May…

24/1/12: Finished Day 13.
26/1/12: Australia Day public holiday, and lots of knitting done! :) Finished Day 14. As on Days 7 & 8, I purled through the back loop on the stitches directly above the ktbl stitches; it rasies the line of stitches from the background nicely. I also twisted the knit stitches on the (sl1k1yok1psso), not that it makes huge difference. Repeated r3-10 a second time (26 rows total) because I enjoyed this pattern.
