Found myself with all my 2020 “must finish” projects completed, and only large WIPs left. But the Jan 2021 KALs start in a couple of days, and I don’t want to get back involved with those. Since I had the needles and supplies out already from the Radvent Wrap Advent KAL, I decided to go ahead and cast on the same project, working it in reverse order.

Off the needles today. Opted to do an Icelandic bind off rather than the picot bind off. Immediately soaked for blocking, bind off is a little firm, but it blocked out fine and I like the clean edge.

Two full size Radvent Wraps from this Advent Kit! 79 total grams of yarn left amongst all 25 colors - but it amounts to scrap on a per color basis. I uploaded an updated spreadsheet usage tracker. The mini skeins must have been over weight by about a gram or two because my usage for this wrap was 34g more than the first. I didn’t take starting weights for the first wrap, just used the label weight - so this wrap’s usage is more accurate since I had an actual start and end weight.

Added a few shots with both wraps - the original and this one. The difference is interesting. In both pictures, the wrap worked in the forward order is on the left and the wrap in reverse (this one) is on the right.
