Notes

For this test knit.

August 18th:
Originally was going to use my ST but realized I needed a DK weight. Since this is lighter than its stated worsted label, I am using it instead.

August 19th:
After knitting Swirl jackets of 600+ stitches on 40-inch circular needles, I cast on for this project using a 5.0mm 32-inch circular needle instead of loosely casting on a 4.5mm 36-40 inch one and am really happy I did. The stretched out stitches on the longer circular would have been aggravating for me. Other than those two changes, I followed the directions accordingly.

August 20th:
First ball took up cast on, the seed stitch rounds, and 1-16.5 rounds.

August 22nd:
109 grams used of 150 before 5 rows of seed stitch edge and bind off.

August 23rd:
30 grams left of 150 before bind off.
25 grams left of 150 grams = 125 grams used
