Notes

Wouldn’t you know -- I lost my original project! After a month of disappointment frogging a lot of things I decided to make a replacement. Mark 2!

See original for project notes. Cast on old Norwegian. With CC this time. In case I find the original I can tell them apart.

Reached row 9 of chart. Been ages since I did stranded colorwork. Must admit I had to double check if I was knitting Continental correctly at first.

Making a bit of progress here and there but I just go the yarn in for my first C2C blanket so that’s been eating a lot of time.

Row 38. Had a tie to purple in middle of green. face_with_rolling_eyes And the color direction changed. So I cut, wound off to where I wanted, cut out some green because it’s a long section in this colorway, and spit joined to continue. Then wound off the rest into a new ball so it’s fading the same direction.

As per last time cutting out huge chunks of yarn to get more color change in crown.

Done. Need to soak and block. Still have yarn left!

You could get 3 hats easy if you don’t cut out yarn. Maybe even if you do.

Humidity in GA increases drying time something fierce. -.-

I. Well. My gauge altered a lot since last time. Going to keep it but it’s rather a bit wider than I recall. I think I should go down to 2 and 2.5 next Selbu.
