Notes

I chose the “Celestial Fields” kit from Sweet Georgia Yarns.

MC: Dried Lavendar
CC1: Coastal Cottage
CC2: Fairytail

Wonderful colors, and soft yarns.

———-

So far I’ve finished through to the Garter Increase 2.

08-04-2022

About to start the Mosaic Increase section grinheart

Very fun, interesting pattern so far grin. Very beautiful colours!!! star-struckheart_eyespartying_face

08-04-2022

The mosaic section has some issues. The chart and the written directions don’t match for the first 3 WS rows. Hopefully these questions will be answered soon …

08-05-2022

Looks like my questions were answered - chart was correct, written directions got changed to match the chart blush

Now to either figure out how to fix a few stitches in the last 4 rows, or just frog it back and start the Mosaic chart again.

——-

Found a YouTube video on how to fix stitches in previous rows without frogging! partying_face

Moving on following the chart crossed_fingersblush

08-06-2022

Finished with Clue 1! tadapartying_facegrinrolling_on_the_floor_laughing. No other errors, as they promised tadapartying_facerolling_on_the_floor_laughing

Very nice pattern. Almost swirls, but they’re pointed, not rounded grin

Didn’t see the last garter increase at the end of Clue 1. Finished that off just before starting Clue2 grin

08-10-2022

Clue 2

Finished Eyelet Increase 1, and Garter Increase 4.

08-10-2022

(Made it into garter inc 5 before swimming today)

08-11-2022

Finished thru Garter Increase 6.

I’m very much enjoying the subtle color variances in all these yarns heart_eyesblushpartying_face

08-12-2022

Got thru 1 full repeat of the lace chart, and half the second, ending with Row 8 of the second repeat.

And my sock blank is definitely changing colors! partying_faceheart

08-12-2022

Finished with Clue 2! partying_facegrinhearttada

08-16-2022

Clue 3:

Finished the Lace Increase partying_facegrin

08-17-2022

Finished the Middle Mosaic partying_face

08-18-2022

Finished Clue 3! partying_facegrin. And my sock blank has gone from a lighter pink-purple to a deeper blue-purple partying_facestar-struckgringrin

The colors are truer in the closeup of the lace from Clue 3 wink

08-24-2022

Clue 4 is here!! partying_facetadagrin

I’ve finished the Lace decreases at the start of the clue.

08-25-2022

Finished thru Tweed decrease 1. So much colour!!

Here are a few notes!!

First: you don’t need to cut the MC when working the Eyelet decrease 1. It’s only 4 rows wink

Second: there’s a typo at the end of the Tweed Decrease 1. You’re really cutting CC2 at the very end of this section.

08-26-2022

Clue 4 finished! I’m getting quite low on my MC (purple) and the CC2 (currently dark blue), with seemingly more of my CC1.

It’s so fun watching all these colors play and change!! star-struckgrinheart

There was an additional note about the pattern:

For Eyelet decrease 2, you again don’t need to cut the MC while working with CC1

09-01-2022

Clue 5 begins with a mosaic decrease. I’ve very little of my CC2

09-02-2022

Clue 5 continues! I’ve finished 4 more sections, and I’m down to the last, seemingly largest, section. I’ve very little of my CC2 (dark), just a bit more of my MC (purple), and a bit more again of my CC1 (teal).

09-06-2022

I’ve finished the knitting in Clue 5 partying_facegrinheart Next up, picking up along the long edge for the picot bind off grincrossed_fingers

09-06-2022

I’ve finished my shawl!! partying_facetadagrinheart I used my CC2 color and I even have a pinch left over!

I’ll need to wash/block it still, but it’s beautiful and soft grinheart

Remaining yarn at the end:
MC (purple): 22g
CC1 (teal sparkle): 23g
CC2 (sock blank gradient): 3g
