Notes

12-30-2014 - visit Tolt Yarn and Wool…check ~ make some new friends…check ~ find yarn for the kal…check check and check ~ it was a good day hearts

come join us for our seventh annual New Year’s Knitalong at Girls in Sheep Clothing ~ it’s always a good time :)

ps - if you’re one of the kal’ers and read this, please tag your projects with ‘2015floodsflock’, would ya? that way I can type that in the rav search engine and it should pull up all our projects on one page

project notes ::

  • the yarn : I chose the Peace Feece ‘lily pad’ colorway in hopes that it would compliment the Shelter ‘sap’ colorway in the Quill Throw I made for my husband ~ it does :) ~ we’ll have coordinated throws now!

  • cast on : I always use the longtail cast on for circular starts ~ I think it looks fine once the end is woven in

  • Chart A : started on 3 US9 dp’s (3,4,3) : switched to US9 16” circular before doing row 10 : chart A used 6.5g

  • 6 rows knitting : used 6.5g

  • Chart B : switched to US9 24” circular before doing row 6 : switched to US9 32” circular before doing row 12 : chart B used 26.0g

  • Chart C : switched to US9 47” circular before doing row 9 : added a US9 24” and a 32” circular before doing row 27 : chart C used 110.5g

  • DON’T MISS THE MOVE YOUR MARKER NOTATION BETWEEN CHART C & CHART D … IT’S ONLY NOTED IN THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS!
