Notes

It’s unexpectedly fun to knit something while having no idea what it’s going to turn out to be.

Although my gauge was spot on, the recommended yardage wasn’t enough and I couldn’t get another skein of yarn A. For the second wing, I did 3 garter ridges of B and 2 of A -- a mod that’s visible if you look closely, but not conspicuous, I don’t think.

I had planned to finish this by the end of the Rav Games, but I wasn’t prepared for the sheer volume of knitting in clue 4. The partially finished picture, about a third of the way through the second wing, shows where I was in the closing ceremonies. First time I haven’t finished a Ravelympics project on time, but I suppose it’s easier to finish if you have the whole pattern in advance.
