Notes

A new pattern for a knitted square is coming up. As this one ressembles the flower of my Estonian clematis ‘Piilu’ that will be its name, i.e. »Clematis».


Ett nytt mönster till en stickad ruta är på gång. Eftersom det här påminner om blomman på min estniska klematis ‘Piilu’ har det få bli namnet, dvs »Clematis».

I want to say something about the yarn I’ve used, as I find that Garnstudio DROPS Karisma - be it uni colour or mix - is not very consistent when it comes to metreage and weight.

In a project like this, where each piece is of exactly the same size and stitch count, it’s extremely annoying that this inconsistency makes it more or less impossible to make an accurate calculation of the number of balls needed.

Some colours were very thin, nearer DK than worsted, and some were very weighty, closer to worsted/9 wpi. This is why I decided on needles 3.5 mm instead of 4 mm recommended by Garnstudio, as I didn’t want the colours of very thin Karisma to become too “fluffy” in comparison with the colours made from coarser yarn.
