TL;DR

Chroma dominant in left hand Continental, Pallette in Flick/Lever right. Traveling loop to Magic Loop to Double Point Needles for crown. Cast on Old Norwegian, into 2x2 ribbing.

Project Start

While making my replacement for the lost original I realized I had bookmarked 2 black versions of this project so… naturally… I must cast on a black one as the other is drying.

Completed ribbing. Cast on CC Chroma Norwegian. 2x2 ribbing for a change. Through the increase.

Traveling loop Chiaogoo 2.5 US size (custom order to add to standard kit) switching to 3 US size for colorwork.

My 2ns Selbu was a bit big. Probably over compensating for colorwork tension. Just knitting this at a normal pace and see what happens. No extra effort to scoot previous stitches down to extend the floats.

Too many WIPS! I might knock this one out first as it’s smallest.

Clara didn’t chew on the working yarn line. Nope. Naw. It’s soggy and slobbery for no reason. Yup.

(carefully moves project to mantle to air dry over night, adds this note to SOAK SOAK SOAK this project and double rinse prior to blocking)

Only lightly blocked due to no round plates (again). Going to have to buy 1 just for tams!
