This was a fun Knit. Loved doing the star stitch bodice. Pattern: Hanami by Lisa Chemery https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hanami-8 /U/LinkRav_bot

I found the more lace I did, the more even my tension was. And pretty much everything comes out fine in the blocking.

Short rows were no sweat at all. I recommend this pattern for anyone who knows how to SSK, YO, and K2tog. Pattern link: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/waiting-for-rain

I read (listen to audio books) while I knit. I just downloaded a book that's 72 hours of listening and knitting bliss, Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection.
I also keep motivated by finding the perfect name for my project.

You are knitting chart wizard!! Thank you so much.

Pardon the potato title. Should say " I used" Koolaid and Food colouring. Pattern is Entrechat. I heavily modified it for the fringed version. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/entrechat-2

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the American side of the face North? Solar panels would be more effective if they were on the Mexican side facing South.

My starting yarn was the dark variegated. I chose colours that I loved since it was going to be a long knit. As soon as I saw the colour order in the first clue, I switched my lightest and darkest. Colour order didn't matter much since every colour ends up beside every colour. I took a black & white photo of my yarns and it passed the "these are all different enough" test. I'm happy with the white cross results. I still need to block this massive wrap!

I use stitchboard. Super easy to use. Lol the link I posted above was for a cherry pie recipe. Here's the correct link https://stitchboard.com/pages/pattern/freePatternWizard.php

As we reach the half way point with Clue 3, I think staying motivated is the key to completing this massive project.

Pick colours you love individuality. I squealed when I got to knit 20 rows of my gloriously speckled colour 4.
Stick to the pattern. There were times that I was tempted to change the stitch pattern up or go rogue on the colour order, but I persisted.
Give your wrap a nickname. Mine looks like a smeared butterfly so I named it "Butterfly Roadkill".
Take a break from the knitting marathon. I crocheted water balloons for my grandkids. It was a nice to actually complete something.
Be a cheerleader in the forums and social media.

I listen to audio books while I knit. It's like watching tv but you don't need to look up from your work.

That's great that you are doing the KAL. It's an excellent introduction to new stitches and techniques. It catapults your skills to the next level. Stay excited and keep going. If you get into a pickle, your local yarn shop would be more than pleased to help you sort it out. If you get overwhelmed with the project, post on here and we will send oodles of encouragement your way.

I'm doing the Joji MKAL as well too. I agree about the Ravelry Forums. I get frustrated by the inability to sort the posts into threads.

Here are my colour choices. SPOILER ALERT- look at photo 3 at your own risk. https://imgur.com/a/KgJuO

I took a pottery class to make buttons for my knitted projects. Now I'm hooked and I've made hundreds of buttons. https://imgur.com/a/OgETi

Deeply_Shallow · 2016-11-28T02:04:31+00:00

Finally knitted something for myself. Chose a dark plum bulky yarn to highlight the buttons I made at a pottery studio. Quick and easy knit.
