Notes

Knitting this for the Ravellenics

found a lace border i liked: maelstrom

2/6/14: i just got in the mail the extra beads that i ordered since i am doing the lace border i thought i might add more beads… will in my bag i found 1 clear bead that i thought would be cool to uses to mark my zodiac (Sagittarius) i found where EL NASL (Gamma Sagitarii) - Arabic for the point, this star marks the point of the arrow, aimed not only at the heart of the scorpion, but also directly towards the black hole at the center of our galaxy.

now back on topic i marking El Nasl with just the white bead or with both a black and white will not decide until i get to the stitch

2/6/14: also i weighed all yarn:
silver fox: 99 grams
mica: 100 grams
smokestack: 98 grams
tern: 104 grams
steamer trunk: 102 grams
charcoal: 101 grams
manor: 100 grams

and i have not put cosmos into a cake yet since i hoping i only need 7 colors

2/7/14 got to chart c and didnt like the bead placement

2/8/14 started chart D still have alittle less than half (42 grams) of the 1st color at the start chart D
In chart D it taking about 3 grams for each round
Well if my calculations are correct I only going to use 50 grams of Mica and smokestack

2/8/14 changed my mind only using Mica for 5 rounds and 9 rounds of smokestack
