Late finishing Clue 1 because of the thousands of beads I have, of course NONE of them were suitable for this yarn and project, lol! Picked up the beads yesterday when I picked up my car from the shop. Finished Clue 1 in the wee hours this morning (5am--woke up early, didn’t stay up that late). Beads are Ka-Gina Beads, Inc Triangular #5Sea Blue2981SB.

Had an opportunity to do a test knit, so this MKAL fell to 2nd priority, and I’m behind! Just finished Clue 3, now on to Clue 4…

Finally got back to this over the weekend and finished it last night. I forgot my wires (for blocking), but it turns out I didn’t even need them. I didn’t even need my pins or Knit Blockers (Knitter’s Pride). This thing pretty much blocked itself. I knew I didn’t want to stretch it out too big because I plan to wear it as a scarf. Anyway, after washing and soaking, I pretty much just laid it out with the two knit blockers to guide me. It measures approximately 79 inches in the inside curve. Can’t wait for it to dry!
