the yarn traveled to me from Peru, the project will travel with me to Minnesota and Illinois, and I’ll knit on it with traveling through the wool warp to talk to friends online. well traveled, indeed! followed tips for widening neck opening and later the beading from mirielgw’s Beaded Viajante. using backwards loop and reverse…
JMCO 12st 2 at a time, on longer bent circs; after increases, switched to 9” circs to zoom zoom concurrently. gauge is a bit tighter on these needles, ~10/in. increased to 38. increase mid foot and before heel to 42. knit to 7.25” before FLKH. 1-13-14-13-1 these ended up too long, gifted to Karen.

CO JMCO 12. dropped one stitch mid-foot, fixed later when weaving in ends (7/5)

Knitting in ThreeFates at the same time as her giveaway on the Yarnings Podcast. a girl wizard is named in homage to Eskarina from Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett… the yarn colorway is Merlin so it fits in. Began in April to celebrate my birthday month! Also fits nicely…
for the ZK KAL, using marketplace yarn and designer showcase pattern. started Gamestorm weekend. This yarn is thinner than my norm, so I am doing a few more stitches than normal to make them fit better and still keep the size 1 needles and the gauge I prefer (on this yarn, about 10st/in.) These should…
