Notes

October 16, 2025

A little bit of a late start for this Oct/Nov 2025 KAL, but I should be fine to get it done.

Decided to go with a single skein of Killington (the old, 700yd skeins). Need to move it out of stash as it really is a strange length for any project - I could never get it right, it’s either way too much or not nearly enough. And this color doesn’t coordinate with anything else in stash.

Dropped one needle size from recommended to adjust for the yarn weight and the slightly short yardage.

Finished the cast on, set up, and 5 repeats of the body. It’s still a long way to go, but reasonable to think I can get it done by end of Nov.

Off the needles. Did 6 extra border rows to use up all of the skein.
