Notes

Testing yet another pattern for Frank. I have just completed a few rounds and am in love with this one. As always, Frank divides his testers in two groups. I am in the group that can use as many colors as I wish. Right now I am planning four. We’ll see if that works for me.
Round 12 is a whole lot of chains. At first I thought “You must be kidding” but after a couple more rounds you’ll find they look really great. I did find stitch markers helped me here. Leave it to Frank to come up with something so unique.
Since I am in the “any number of colors, any way” group of testers I have changed round 23. I didn’t want the fptp’s to show so I made round 23 the same color as the previous round rather then changing color here. It blends in and gives me a pretty star/pinwheel shape in the center. Really watch your count. Count each round. Stitch placement is really important.
Note.. I had to redo round 51(bummer) because I did my coroners wrong. Read this one carefully!
I also had a problem getting round 56 right. I was tired and couldn’t get it to click in my head. Read it carefully also. The bottom line is ..you should only have 2 chain three’s (later…chain 4’a and then chain 5’s) together.
Round 65…There are 14 chain 5’s from round 64 that are just skipped.
Do just as the pattern states!
