Started the garter boarder. Used Zeypher needles one size bigger. I wanted a bigger yarn over void. Set up the Greta with stitch markers.

Used a F hook for the nupps. New stitch to me. Looks like a lot of practice is about to come my way. Found a great resource in which I can just purl one back instead of five.

Ball one done on second repeat of Greta line 32 and Karakell line 12 second repeat. Next time instead of Nupps, I am using 6/0 glass beads. This is a pattern for intermediate knitters or EXTREMELY adventurous beginner.
