Notes

I have dyed 300g of Merino to spin up to knit this pattern. I had been looking at Starry Night by Van Goch for inspiration. I was thinking that the yellow stars would be represented by yellow foil lined beads, but went for silver foil lined beads in the end :D

29/01/14 - cast on after swatching with 2.5mm needles, as the yarn I produced is very fine. I’m happy with the colour as it’s knitted up :)

30/01/14 - on chart’s D already.

10/02/2014 - Blimey, I reckon my yarn is pretty much laceweight, which means that this is going to turn out tiny. Have finished the E charts and realised I only have the F’s to go. It probably wouldn’t fit a child! I’m going to finish it and probably put a border on it anyway and call this my practise one.

24/03/2014 - I realised this was going to be far too small, so decided to frog it and cast on using 4mm needles. I am now on the F charts, halfway through them. Think I’ve got enough yarn and beads for a nice border. Haven’t decided on which border yet.

01/04/2014 - Completed! Blocked, Ends sewn in and photographed. I got to the end and decided that I wanted a picot cast off. I cast on 4 sts, then bound off 8 sts then repeated until the end.

I adore it.
