Notes

Much happier with this now that it’s blocked. It’s still kinda weird to wear.

I accidentally gave away my backup skein of my alternate color, so I was running low and yarn needed to modify the “Triangle Rows” by increasing the decreases.

Followed the “pure” version with the following changes (wanted to get the look of the “freestyle dk” version): Color A 22 times, alternated A & B 10 times, then followed pattern as written for the rest of the main body portion.

1/18/13: swatched with some teal merino and plain black wool to decide what this crazy zauberball wanted to be. 22sts = 4” in st st on #5 (before seeing pattern)

1/19/14: decided on this yarn for this pattern, purchased.
pattern gauge for fingering: 24sts = 4” on US 1 (2.5mm)? Calls for two 80cm circs.

I’m not knitting this whole damn thing on #1s! Swatched with #2 addi got 23 sts = 4” in gr st. Close enough :) I don’t want this really dense.

My project for TeamVagGigante2014 (LSG Raveldacted Renegade Games).
