Excluding the edging, here is the calculated percent complete:
- after chart a = 0.2%
- after chart b = 0.7%
- after chart c = 2.5%
- after chart d = 9.3%
- after chart e = 36.3% (each 10 rows is roughly 5%)
- after chart f = 97.8% (each 10 rows is roughly 11%)
- after post-chart f rows = 100%
My notes:
- Size 6/0 Beads
- 1/1/13 - Cast on ~11am. Chart C done by 230pm. Picked it up again at 530pm. Finished Chart D and increases for chart E ~1030pm. 25g of yarn used thus far.
- 1/2/13 - Finished the 10th row of chart E.
- 1/4/13 (technically 230am on the 5th) - finished 32nd row of chart e. Ran out of yarn from the first ball roughly 1/4 through the 23rd row, also sized up from a 40” cable to 60” at that time. Already can’t stretch out on the 60”
- 1/7/13 - Finished Chart D and increases for chart E. 86g of yarn used thus far.
- 1/20/13 - Picked it up again after a near two week absence.
- 1/21/13 - Ran out of the second ball of ran on row 105, and the first ream of beads on row 106. Called it quits after row 112 for the night.
This got put on the back burner a bunch of times, but I finally finished it in the wee hours of March 23. Additional notes:
- Had ~3g of yarn left over on my 5th ball of yarn.
- Had 11 beads left over on the second loop of beads.
- Didn’t like the border the pattern called for, instead did:
- [k2tog, YO]*
- knit
- [YO, SSK]*
- knit
- Bound off using stretchy bind off on size 6 needles
- Would have liked to have done some more rows of border before binding off, but didn’t want to wind a new ball.
