Notes

November 29, 2021

I worked up a little sample to practise the stitch - would be useful as a coaster, hit pad, coffee mug cosy too. Or a nice cushion.

Working a big blanket would be quite a slog with all the sc.

It is easy but a bit boring but seeing the colours come together is nice. The chains row is me muttering one two three etc so Mr P is not impressed with this as a telly project, but he will have to get used to it. This will be my background project if I am to stand a chance of an opadoo

My colour striping scheme is MC then pairs of colours, separated by MC so beige, light green/dark green, beige, light pink/dark pink, beige etc.

December 15, 2021

Just red and green stripes to go. I frogged a partially completed cushion cover to get enough to make two bright orange stripes.

December 16, 2021

I will have to check my stitch count but it is 31 in wide and each colour stripe is four rows and takes about 15g

December 18, 2021

I have reached the end of my colour sequence so it is rectangular rather than square but that is okay.

I have nearly finished looping up the loops but will check it over tomorrow to make sure all the loops are linked correctly.

December 21, 2021

Hurrah! Will arrange for better pics when I get a chance but it is finished.
