Mods:
Clue 3:
- Extra 2 rows of twisted rib (12 total rather than 10)
- Complete eyelet ridge after the twisted rib, rather than a single garter ridge
Clue 4:
- I changed the yo, s2kp, yo on row 13 of the Color 5 lace stripe right along the center spine to yo, ssk on the right (Chart A side) and k2tog, yo on the left (Chart B side) because I didn’t like having two yo’s on each side there.
- Ended the Color 5 lace stripe on row 14 rather than 16 (I thought those extra two rows looked a little odd…)
- Added a Color 1 eyelet row in between the Color 5 and Color 4 stripes to keep things consistent (note that this is a slight alteration of the eyelet rows before in order to keep the yo’s aligned): Sl1, k1, k2tog, (k2tog, yo, k2) to 1 st from m, k1, m1l, sm, k1, sm, m1r, k1, (k2, yo, ssk) to 4 sts from end, ssk, k2.
- I did only 3 rows of eyelets on the last Color 4 section. Having tried it with both 3 and 4 repeats, I liked 3 better and thought it fit better with the size of the other sections.
Clue 5:
- I completely altered the triangles by reverse engineering the beginning Clue 1 triangles. If you’d like written out instructions on exactly what I did, please PM me and I’ll be happy to send them along.

Clue 3 is done on the first piece. Having read the 4th clue, I’m quite certain this is going to end/the pieces will be joined as I’ve expected all along, which makes me really excited.

Finished the second piece. Since I made changes on clues 3 and 4 the second time around, I picked the first piece up this afternoon and frogged it back to the end of the twisted ribbing. I’m now through the lace and ready to do the last section before the joining begins.

Clue 4 is finished on both pieces and they have officially been joined.

Today was marked by more frogging than knitting, mostly because I can’t even follow my own plan.

First Clue 5 triangle is finally finished!
06-21-2017
Halfway through the second Clue 5 triangle. I did lose yarn chicken for Color 3, but had I not made mods to Clue 5, I would’ve had enough. Luckily I have a second skein of sugar and will only need to steal a few yards from it.

Knitting is done! Just a few ends from the last triangle to weave in and blocking.
