Notes

This one’s a mystery even to me! Hopefully it all drops into place soon! But I have just over 100g left, and can’t resist..

Maybe I should call it leap of faith?

Perseditherance = dithering while persevering.

I decided I was going with the blue start and charged ahead, but after swatching the edging laces for the 2 different ideas, decided I liked the look of the one that goes with the gold start instead. That meant frogging what I’d knit so far, as I had improved the design as I knit, and restarting. Which I’ve done, and yet I still really like that simple blue start, and I still want to find out how it looks when I add the CC detail that was about to come next, so apparently I haven’t really decided at all.. :/

Finished yesterday!

More swatching of the 2 directions I’d plotted out clinched the decision, and after that it flew off the needles. Particularly happy with how the colour transition fit.

The lace is from Naomi Parkhurst/ gannet

Process notes:

Started chart 2 at 207 sts,
35g Oro remaining end 1st rep.
13.45/10.50 (=2.95g per row) end 2nd rep.
