Notes

Joker and Thief KAL

Link to the Gradient maker

Mods: Cast on 2 additional stitches, one on either end of the row- knit on RS, slip purlwise with yarn in front on WS.
Moved the kfbf one stitch away from the selvedge to avoid holes with this mod.
Carried up the yarn as weaving in on the back as you go on the 2 stitch of my selvedge on RS.
Bound-off using i-cord bind-off.

17.05.: started with the last section

16.06:
Rewashed using the tips from Holst Group:
Fill bucket with hot, almost boiling to boiling water, add dishwashing detergent.
Gently put Knitted garment in water - don’t move it around, just make sure it’s under water. I added a sheet of color catcher. Let it stay there until water is cold. Then wash out and block (or machine wash first).
This is supposed to remove the spinning oil of the holst. My water and color catcher were a little bit brown.
