Playful from Project Management will be taking the lead in this MKAL

08-04-2020

The 2nd pre-clue has been released with yarn totals so I’ve decided to use this undyed stroll glimmer. I have 3 100g hanks that I am dividing into 4 75g hanks giving me approximately 345 yards of each color.

I will be kettle dying with these colors:
Color A - Radioactive
Color B - Bright Aqua
Color C - Hot Fuschia
Color D - Silver Grey

08-05-2020

I just dyed up my yarn. I chose to over dye the florescents twice (three dyed baths each skein) in order to create a super saturated, tonal effect. The silver grey was just dyed once and has small sections of white, which I adore. Im using it as D, so I think the slight varigation will work well!

08-08-2020

After Sharon’s advice to make C and D colors you love together, B a background color, and the leftover A, I switched my B and D.

I just finished section 5 - tail grooming zone. I’m looking forward to finishing up Clue 1, however, I will have to wait 6 days for Clue 2! I guess it will be nice to have something to look forward to for 6 weeks.

08-22-2020

At the end of clue 3 I have this much yarn left:

A - 45.8g
B - 45.2g
C - 45.6g
D - 36.5g

08-26-2020

I really don’t like how the stupid lace curtains from clue 3 look with all that pink. I also feel like the green (A) garter section between the feather and fan sections barely shows up. So, I ripped back to the stars and I am introducing a 5th, rogue color - a hand dyed variegated that is also a stroll glimmer base!
