Notes

Using 2 colors only:
Naked = Color 1 & 3
Garden of Eden = Color 2

Pattern notes: Color 1 ~ 70 yds ; Color 2 ~ 400 yds; Color 3 ~ 175 yds | US 4/3.5mm needles
Note Color 2 stripes with both other colors.
20 sts in 4” blocked garter (not critical).

16 Jun 2016 -- Yarn Chicken Begins. @row 255 with 26g remaining of color 2 (first skein). I’m hoping this will be enough so I can reserve the second skein of Garden of Eden for another project.

20 Jun 2016 -- Yarn Chicken Victory with c.2. @row 297, the beginning of the final garter solid garter section in c1/3 Naked. Whew. 5g remaining in c.2/skein 1. Had I done a fullsize swatch in c.2 there wouldn’t have been enough.

Note counter/timer started ~row 170 so elapsed time x2 is best estimate

06-21-2016 Off the needles!

~ 30.5 hrs knitting time. Needs blocking and ends woven. Second 2/3 using KnitPicks options (metal) worked much easier than first1/3 using KnitPicks Sunstruck (wooden). Bamboo & wood are not for me. First third time estimated -- timer/ row counter started with ~ row 170. Total rows 326. Total sts should be 166. Off by 4 (missed some YO’s?).

Used entire skein (less 5g) of c.2.
67g of Bare remain = used ~ 45 g for c.1 & 3.
