2nd sample for “Rainbird” pattern.

  • Summery color
  • Gauge 24-25 instead of 26 (thus kinitting size S).
  • Summer version with bigger neck (8 sts more, and 4 sts less per shoulder) to try out this option.
  • Short sleeves

Skudderia Egyptian Lace (discontinued) in plant-dyed color, held together with Ruppert Garne Linaru.

After approx. 25 rows of body: 183g of yarns held together left (plus leftovers of the single ones).
1 row needs approx. 5m = less than 2g now, but the rows will still get a bit shorter.

Sleeves: 6 repeats, 17g used per sleeve.

37g left over, so only 1000m used.
