Completed green block. Yellow block was completed on 9/3/19.

Will need another black skein, I think.

09-08-2019 (Midnight)

Blue block completed. I will not need another black skein, as I am still pulling from the first one and am 3/5 of the way finished with the body of the scarf.

09-19-2019

Red block completed - it’s been really hot here and so it’s hard to work on this for more than a few minutes because 1. it’s long and 2. its making my hands sweat! The purple is really dark - I hope there’s enough of a contrast in the daylight to work.

First Maker check in it tomorrow 9/20 and I’m almost already finished with my trib! Might need to see about starting the Black’s Feathers if I finish before the end of the weekend.

Swapped Blackberry with Boysenberry, which is a dark, dusty magenta.

09-22-2019

Back to the Blackberry. The lighter shade of the Boysenberry does not match the strong shades of the other four Elementals.

Just gonna have to deal with the darker purple.

11 PM: Over halfway finished with final block. The darker purple will be fine in regular lighting. Changed the center swoosh on the Spirit Elemental, so it looks different than the initial photo.

6 more stripes to go, 330 completed!! I have more than enough yarn for a good multicolored fringe. woo!

09-27-2019

Knitting is DONE. This now qualifies as a Super Scarf, as it’s about 90” long. I haven’t decided if I’m going to fringe it across the end or put tassels on the corners.

I’ll weigh the leftover yarn after I fringe it so as to put the proper used amounts in the project page.

It’s magic!
