Notes

I’m trying to figure out which yarn would be working, for this exciting MKAl. Maybe Wol en zo will dye some nice gradient for me.

Due to holiday and dying problems I had to think of something else. So I ordered this gradient from wollelfe. I hope it comes quick.

Wow that was quick. And what a lovely vibrant colour. Plus the wool feels nice and soft!

Ok made a swatch. Gauge is ok for size 3,5 mm. Not critical but I like to know where I stand cause I have exactly 1000m.
Now trying the setup. After some trials I think it is alright. I started on a 5 mm cause this seems very thight. It gives me a start with a double row.

I’m getting sued to the stitching. It still takes me more then 1 hour to do one row with all the diff types of stitches, so it is not a quick knit. But it looks good. So far I have to start row 11

, I finally get the hang of it. Clue 2 finished. I’m busy with clue 3. Won’t be in time for clue 5 though…

Almost there . Just the bind off which is also new to me.

21-09-2016

Yes finished today! I must say the bo with the i-cord looks great, but it is a lot of work. It took 11 grams of my yarn. I have 19 grams left of my original 250 grams yarn.
The colour change is quite dramatic.
Only blocking is left to do.

It is still not dry! I had to stretch it quite a bit to get the stitches nice and even. So it is quite big!
47 cm by 264 cm! Talk about wrapping possibilities! I might use it laying on our couch,just for grabbing, in the winter when iI need it.

O my, I won the price with this MKAl! It came today, thanks to Jan from Magpielane crafts, I’m the proud owner of a gorgeous kit, with lots of little beads, rings, and tools to make my own stitch markers….. I don’t think I will have time to knit anymore?
Thank you thank you Jan you have spoiled me!
