13.02 - and it is officially DONE! I’m really happy with it, I skipped the frill edge and did a regula k2p2 ribbing.
I love it:)
11.02 - now I truly belive in the power of blocking! It’s magic! Like… “where did my wavy stitches wanish?!”
Less than 30 rows to go!
06.02 - finished yoke! It’s a bit loose around my neck, but I like it that way. It’s really really warm, and having it tightly wrapped around my throat wouldn’t be comfortable:)
28.01 - Adding third color to the row, regardless to tradition… Oh how bad bad idea that was.
24.01 - starting the third skien of pistacchio yarn, also finished the first part of colourwor which is supposed to represent like Andes, or something:)
21.01 - the actual gauge is… 18 St x 24 rows. Sleeves are attached, now working on colourwork :-)
16.01 - reastarted the project, starting from provisional cast-on around waist and going upwards. No twist done this time:) and I LOVE this yarn!
12.01 - that is a disaster… I twisted my work so I had to frogg it all and while doing this I discovered that my yoke was 1,6 METERS wide!!!
Re-checked my gauge.. it is 20 instead of 21 st per 10-cm, but still it shouldn’t be so huge.
I’ll start again with 15 alpacas :)
11.01 I decided to go with a provisional cast on for the entire yoke. I will worry about sleeves later. Since I’m not experienced in colorwork I’ll probably have to even stitches manually or by blocking.
I actually achieved the exact gauge! (with 5mm needles tough - I always work tight especially in rounds)
10.01 I will be forced to use magic loop to check my gauge… ad also start with the yoke, beacuse I am afraid of yarn shortage.
9.01 Yayyyy! Package arrived!
2.01 first shipping arrived. Unforunately main color package got lost somewhere on the way:/
The big project! Currently I’m waiting for my yarn delivery, and thinking on new yoke desing (llamas instead of nordic-style stars).
