11/30/16 It’s still very slightly damp, but I don’t think it’s going to dry anymore so I seamed it up tonight. The edges roll a bit. I think a steaming would calm them down a bit. I maybe should have steam blocked it, too, but I didn’t think of it. Overall, I think it looks good.
11/26/16 51”+ after 7 skeins + a few rows. Kept going until about 53” and then bound off. I washed it and got it blocking. I decided to do a wash and soak with this one instead of a spray down because my tension wasn’t super consistent throughout. So, I wanted a good thorough soak to help even things up a bit. With that, I think it will be fine. The yarn has enough of a halo that the individual stitches don’t stand out anyway. It might take a few days to dry, unfortunately, as the only space I have that’s large enough to do blocking right now (that’s also safe from cats) is on our screened in porch.
11/13/16 44-45” after 6 skeins.
11/5/16 39”-ish after 5 skeins. Will pause here to undo the provisional cast on and bind that edge off.
11/1/16 29.5-30” after 4 skeins.
10/26/16 22” after 3 skeins.
10/7/16 15” after 2 skeins.
10/5/16 About to start the second skein. Length=about 7.5-8”.
10/2/16 I swatched with different needle sizes for RS and WS since the last one I made I rowed out slightly. So far, it seems to be working fine. Again, I used a chain crochet provisional cast on. This promises to be a long and boring knit, but at least the yarn is squishy soft and a lovely color.
