Notes

MC - Antique Gold
CC - Steel

CO using a size 8 needle and work set up rows. It was my intent to change to size 7’s but I wasn’t paying attention and continued with the size 8’s. I’m glad I didn’t! It would have been too tightly knit. On row 40 of the first repeat, I needed a longer cable. I also decided to try size 9’s and I love it! It’s giving my shawl a bit softer hand, should give it more drape after its blocked. I have 4 skeins of each color, I’m definitely doing 3 repeats, maybe four!

Added second skein (second repeat):
Antique Gold on row 28
Steel on row 30

Added third skein (third repeat):
Antique Gold on row 19
Steel on row 21

The third repeat is a yarn eater! I was hoping to finish without getting into the fourth skein of each colorway, but no luck. Should still have enough left over to make a hat or an earband.

Added fourth skein (finishing section):
Antique Gold on row 3
Steel on row 2

I knitted the first 3 tows of the finishing section to the pattern, then on the WS row with the MC, knit to the marker, purled the stitches between markers as in set-up, knit the row. I did a suspended BO using a size 10 needle and my CC.
