reworking the color chart for what I have + 5 purchased Unicorn Tails. 11 colors + MC.<\/p>\n
Yarniac\u2019s Self Indulgent KAL because it\u2019s so very bright and breaks into full skeins I\u2019d been saving, which is very Don\u2019t Hoard the Precious themed from the Sassy Pants Knitter podcast (as well as using the last of my Rhinebeck 2014 stash!)<\/p>\n
Cast on for 41\u201d size with size 3 needles, and after completing the ribbing after the tubular cast on, it was just too tight.<\/p>\n
Revising my size guess:<\/p>\n
finished the main color work, adapted quite a bit for my charted design, including an edging that fades into the pink base color.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
created a underbust band that began with 1×1 twisted ribbing, transitioned into 1×1 fair isle (continuing twisted stitch for the pink) in 3 colors, and back to the twisted ribbing. 2 1\/2\u201d from armhole to band, band is 2 3\/4\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
engineered increases for the empire waist, focusing more at the front stitches. continuing front increases and less back increases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
started in on the 3rd of the skeins of pink!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
charted out and began the fair isle band for the bottom. diverged from the chart after maybe 10 rows and totally improvised, some based on how much of a color remained<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
switched to the color used for the twisted rib at the top (Trodden TML) and did stockinette rows and twisted run rows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
decided it was worth it to try the tubular bind off to match the cast-on. switched to pink and did the 4 rows of set-up (in twisted rib). it took around 2 hours to kitchener the 450 stitches – during Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Wove in a kazillion ends and blocked!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
