Notes

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.

Finally began tonight and am just a few rows into the first Color 3 stripe of Clue 1.

05-30-2017

Finished with Row 49 of Clue 1

06-02-2017

Finally finished clue 1 on part 1

06-04-2017

Clue 2 done on Part 1

06-05-2017

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.

06-06-2017

Finished with the lace band of Clue 4

06-08-2017

Finished with Piece 1 and I’ve begun Piece 2!

06-10-2017

Finished with Clue 1 and started on Clue 2 on the second piece.

06-11-2017

Finished with Clue 2

06-14-2017

Clue 3 on part 2 is done.

06-16-2017

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.

06-17-2017

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

06-18-2017

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

06-20-2017

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.

06-22-2017

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