Notes

I’m LOVE this colour way. Flashdance. I will be starting with jewelled purple, followed by mauve and acid green.

Oct 31/14 - started another DC. I really don’t think you can ever have too many. This will be a slow process because I have other things on the needles that I would like to get done first. Plus it is really busy at work, which doesn’t leave me very much time to knit these days. But, I haven’t used this yarn before and wanted to get a feel for it.
FEELS GREAT!!!

Nov 1/14 - I reached my first colour change at 46 stitches. I couldn’t be happier with the yarn! I love it! And of course the pattern speaks for itself.

Nov 2/14 - second colour change at 67 stitches and third one at 84 stitches. I love this pattern more each time I make it. And the yarn! I love this purple!

Nov 6/14 - not a lot of time to knit during the week, as my schedule keeps me pretty busy, but I made it to the forth colour change tonight. I am now working with the centre solid colour. Almost halfway done. 97 stitches at colour change.

Nov 9/14 - didn’t get much knitting done this weekend. Too many otter things to do, which included a lot of yard work today. I did however, make it to the fifth colour change at row 108, and a half dozen rows beyond. I love the introduction of the first green thread.

Nov 13/14 - I reached my 6th colour change tonight. 119 stitches on the needle. I’m now using 2 threads of mauve and 2 threads of acid green.

Nov 15/14 - I am now at my 7th colour change with 130 stitches on the needles.

Nov 16/14 - 8th and final colour change at 138 stitches.
Bound off at 145 stitches. I just need to weave in a few ends and block! :)

Nov 18/14 - It’s all blocked and I love it! The top picture is a little dark, but there is a snowstorm going on outside, so I will wait until the weekend to try and get a good picture out in the sunlight.
