Notes

MC - Blue-green Dye Dump
CC1 - Summer Solstice on Little Bay de Noc
CC2 - Dianthus
CC3 - Foxgloves
CC4 - Teal-Purple Dye Dump
Popportunities - Lady Astro, Mint and/or Pink Tutu Mohair/Silk

MODS:
I went off script a wee bit in Days 5&6.

Day 5 - I held pink and mint mohair/silk laceweight together as my CC3. I knew CC3 on its own wasn’t going to work with the MC. The color values are too similar.

Day 6 - since I knew I wasn’t going to embellish this section, I opted for 14 rows of alternating MC and Lady Astro mohair/silk laceweight held double.

The dice? Easy peasy row counters.

Day 10 - I moved BOR one stitch over to better align the cable twists with Day 9 colorwork.

Day 11 - I used CC3 as my main color as I had used it for only 2-3 rows. I knitted a few rows each of the three other mini-skeins.
