Notes

Using same yarn and colors as listed in the pattern. Why mess with perfection?

7/1 caked yarn
7/2 did a guage swatch with size 8 needles. Not enough stitches per inch. Loved the fabric, but concerned about running out of yarn for color A. Decided on size 7 needles. First time I don’t absolutely hate the look of my garter tab. Was confused about the short rows, but they had a great video showing exactly what to do. Finished up to Row 66. 154 stitches
7/3 Finished twilight section A short row section and started the mountan panel. Ended on MP6. 217 stitches
7/4 Holding my breath that I don’t run out of color A. The cake looks so small now. Ended on MP30. 265 stitches
7/5 Finished mountain panel. MP48 302 stitches
7/6 Started Twilight Section B. Ended at Row 96 328 stitches
7/7 Ended at Row 99 336 stitches
7/8 Running low on color B yarn so had to change up some rows. Did 105-108 in color B then 109-120 in color C. Ended at Row 124 394 stitches

Hoping 13 grams of colo B will be enough for SRJ
Didn’t run out of color A 3 grams left

07-09-2023

Finished Twilight Section B 406 stitches. Markers in every 14 stitches for edging.

Was able to do SRJ with Color B. 2 grams left after other changes above.

36 grams of Color C left.

07-15-2023

After several false starts finished first 4 repeats of edging. 25 to go.

07-16-2023

Finished 15 repeats - 14 to go.
