Notes

8/26/2015: Won 2nd place at the county fair.

6/16: I’m just a few rows away from being finished.

6/15: I added the fifth and final color today and there’s a chance I’ll finish tomorrow if I don’t make it bigger. But I do love it!

6/12: Added the fourth color today!

5/30: I’m about halfway through with the second color and I’m loving how the feather and fan is really starting to show. And those squishy garter rows are hard to pass up.

5/29: I had lots of knitting time at work so I finished the first section and started into the second. I also switched to the second color, so it’s nice to see the gradient starting to happen. I’m really enjoying this so far and I’m hoping it will be a quick knit.

On rows 110 and 132, I had 4 stitches at the end rather than 3. I just knit all 4 and by my math, that’s correct. Everything worked out just fine on subsequent rows as well.

Amount used of each color (lightest to darkest):
1 - 6g left, 31g used
2 - 4g left, 33g used
3 - 18g left, 19g used
4 - 9g left, 28g used
5 - 16g left, 21g used
