Notes

Modifications - I used Summertime Blues as a CC twice - in the Day 1 and Day 10 sections. I only used 11 CC colors.

Day 7 section - Whoops - I missed the lace row (Row 4) so I ended up with a garter stitch section.

Day 10 - well, since I missed that lace section in Day 7, I used CC1 (Summertime Blues) again and did the Day 7 lace section here. I did NO garter stitch with MC, rather knit on RS, purl on WS - following the established increases at the ends and center.

Day 11 - mostly garter stitich - eight rows of MC, rotated with Day 8 and Day 10 colorways (Agate Beach and Pictured Rocks).
Total stitches = 472

Day 12 - Picot - I used In the Midnight Hour for the bind-off as I wanted high contrast with Thistle, the MC. Since I increased the number of stitches, I did an 11-stitch bind-off between the CO stitches to come out even.

MC - Thistle 94 g
CC1 - Summertime Blues 16.5 g
CC2 - Autumn Approaches #1 7.5 g
CC3 - In the Midnight Hour 10.6 g
CC4 - Isle Royale Aurora 11.3 g
CC5 - Autumn Approaches #2 8.4 g
CC6 - Wicked, Wicked Green 11.0 g
CC7 - Autumn Approaches #3 9.7 g
CC8 - Agate Beach 13.3 g
CC9 - Autumn Approaches #4 6.5 g
CC10- Pictured Rocks 8.25 g
CC11- Faded Jeans 11.2 g
