7 Nove 14 - Finished just as I ran out the door to Needler’s Retreat 2014. Photos here are pre-blocking but I’m anxious to get that done for a proper photo. Love this - the pattern, the Luxe, the colours. This was a great MKAL!
30 Oct 14 - Finished Clue 6 just in time to wake to Clue 7.
19 Oct 14 - Wow! Clue 5 worked up super quick. The greens have begun to take over, just a few hints of deep amethyst here and there. Love the “cameo” effect of the nupps on the stocking stitch diamonds.
15 Oct 14 - A very busy weekend - nephew’s wedding and Thanksgiving meant I just finished up Clue 4 this AM before work. The green is beginning to blend in and it’s official - I love nupps!
10 Oct 14 - I’m up early and so working a little Clue 4 before I head off to work. There is a missing “yo” after the spine stitch in Row 1. I’m sure this will be noted and corrected but if anyone visits here before the discussion thread gets lively, heads up :)
5 Oct 14 - Wrapped Clue 3. Still loving the Luxe, I think the nupps are more visible (and pretty!) with the sheen of a little silk.
28 Sep 14 - Clue 2 and first transition are complete.
20 Sep 14 - Clue 1 finished up. Intuitive knitting and the Luxe is lovely to work with. Great stitch definition.
19 Sep 14 - Clue 1 hit the inbox at midnight last night but this girl is up and out to work today. I’ll be tucking in with Ollie after supper :)
I love the Dickens story but it was the musical that came to mind first when I read about this. The song “You’ve Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two” led me to choose the “You Zig, I Zag” colourway. I’ll be pairing that with S/L chartreuse AB beads.
Official start date is: 19 September 2014.
