Photographed and ready for action today!

Worked with one skein of Wolle’s this was a fast and furious knit. It has plenty of options to manage your yarn - either with more rows for extra yardage, or a way to pull up a few rows short if you run out. Perfect for any gradient you have if you want to use all the colors.

I should have known to drop to a US4, I’m such a loose knitter. Instead, I went with a US5 and ran short of yarn, so I couldn’t finish the last few rows. The pattern works fine to end short; I just didn’t want to.

Had less than one gram of yarn left at the end, so I ended and moved to the BO at the perfect time. Overall I love the design and the project.

The yarn has a strand of purple running through it, and while I was knitting the purple strand made me feel like I was working up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but one it was blocked and modeled, the purple is much more subtle and gives less of the PB&J vibe. It’s my colors, so I love it, but I have to say that during the knit I was a bit worried.
