Notes

4/2 DONE and it is gorgeous! I have to weave in ends and take a better photo. :)

4/1 Well I just completed the second Motif! Just as I was finishing the last solid black round I noticed much to my horror there there was a MISTAKE in my work! I carefully worked to the pattern mistake and gingerly released one stitch and worked it down until I got to the mistake three rows below. I amazed myself when I was able to switch the black stitch to a color stitch and restore the pattern! I successfully corrected two of these errors and I am So proud of myself!!

3/22 I ended up snipping the yarn and flipping it around, because after the red it was going back to orange, and my favorite is Blue. I am so excited and proud of my beautiful work, especially since it is my first big stranding project!! :D

3/3 Actually when you look at it as a whole the orange is a nice complementary color. But I will probably snip later if too much shows up. :)

3/2 Ok I did begin, however I am kind of put off by the orange, pea soup green, and yellow that all occurs at the cast on edge. The corrugated ribbing is beautiful though. If I do start over I might flip my long tail cast on around so the “wrong” side is out so it blended better when you purl the first row.

3/1 I am finishing up a baby hat tonight and hopefully I will have time to swatch! :)

I want to make a “Stained Glass” Argyle hat in Black and Intense Rainbow!
