Notes

5 Nov
I have been so horrible at keeping up with project notes - suffice it to say, I am overjoyed with this project. Absolutely everything about it - the making of it, the creativity of the group, and the grace of the designer.

Let’s see, some notes…

  • I added beads to every other post in every other eyelet row in clue 2.
  • I added a bit of mohair in a few places, most significantly in the final row (19) of the dipstitch (clue 4) to plump it out and draw attention to the triangle shape. I did the following WS row 20 in color D before binding off.
  • I cut one yard lengths of each color for the fringe and tripled them before hooking them through. That means 12 strands hooked, 24 strands in the fringe. Trimmed to 4.5” or about 11.5 cm.

6 Oct
I’ll be starting over, using Ines’ (PinkQueenYarn)’s mod for clue one. Find it here, it’s full of life.


Some possible combos from my singles bins…

A day later, and amazingly enough, I have my combo! Of course, it’s not any of the ones I came up with yesterday, but it’s close. :)

A - Skein Queen Selkino - white with delicate taupe and grey speckles
B - Qing Fibre Yak - olivine grey with orange and teal speckles
C - Posh Daphne - deep olive with streams of lavender
D - Posh Daphne - plum threaded with deep grey
