Switching Purples! Dooooo Over! ;)

October 4, 2017

Ch 29 with size H hook both yarn held tog, then ‘Magic Cast-on’ 29 st pair with 3s, knit 2 rows to establish Green as MC, knit other ‘cast-on’ onto size 8s (while undoing Ch 29) then slip stitch cast-off across. (Astonishingly little yarn wastage this way!!)
Starting charts knitting onto 6s. Adding extra plain row between Charts.

Finished 2nd roll from Clue 2, hoping to catch up in time!
Clue 2 220 rows

November 5, 2017

Finished Clue 2! (knitting is still slow, tiring easily yet)
Clue 3 158 rows

November 11, 2017

Finished!! :-D
Ended with 3 plain rows, then alternating stitch facings & both strands held together bind off on 4th row with size 8 needle.

Added 1 extra plain row between most motifs, for clarity.
Added extra 6-row motif to conclude. ( motif # 5)

Couple of goofs:
Rats apparently invested heavily, then when I crashed, they lost their asses! Half-ass “duplicate stitch” used for reparation (gave all the rats’ ass I could manage!).
Also, 1 maybe got their tail slammed in a door? o.O

Near end of clue 1, reversed color schema for a 6-row motif, prolly due to thinking so hard about trying not to, after reading fellow MKALer’s post! :-P

Used 12.3oz of the 14oz total I started with, .85oz left of each of the 2 skeins. (Approx 56 yards leftover each color)
Before washing & blocking: 7.5” x 90”
