mods – increased the number of pattern rows to optimize usage of the skeins on hand of my handspun. 1 skein orange+orange, 2 skein orange+pink, 1 skein pink+pink increased the number of repeats in orange+pink to use more. needs blocking.
swatched on several diff sized needles, and the larger swatch was so much more helpful to see this new technique. short rows are rockin’.
not completely sure of the stats of the skeins. one was a prize, another was an early OFFF purchase that was never added to rav. tan yarn was 130g to begin with, and used all. blue yarn was 144g to begin with, and used 20g
Worked on during January Thaw 2020 trip! Made longer.
broken rib with i-cord edges. striping every 6 rows. the original yarn is 4 strands of worsted yarns twisted together – unwound into 4 individual balls.
used the rest of my sock yarn to make a wrap bracket. mostly 5-stitch I-cord with a cool crochet chain (thicker by sc in each previous stitch) at the end and a loop for easier wearing. couldn’t let my fav colorway go to waste even though the socks were done!
