Notes

This was my first time using self striping yarn. I didn’t think how the pooling would change when switching from the body, in the round, section to the chest piece, knit flat, ahead of time. I also added a lace pattern in the front middle to give it a bit more visual interest. I used chart A.2 on “Summer Feeling,” Drops 160-1.

When blocking my project, the yarn leached a lot of color into the water. I drained and refilled about 15 times and color was still leaching to the point that the water was dark with pigment. I eventually gave up and finished blocking it. I wore it for a day and didn’t notice any dye on my skin however I think I will continue to handwash it until it stops leaching color.

The FO still looks just as vibrant as it did prior to blocking even with all of the color that was leached into the water.
