mjHappy #GeogradientMKAL2023 to all who observe!
A pretty pic of all my cakes for your eyeballs.
End of day 1: made it through section 4. I probably overdid it but I was so close to the end of the section I just had to finish it.
Oh wow there's a whole new Clue 1 now. Ummm guess I'm starting over.
WELP I tried the new instructions 3-4 times with little success - knitting 8 stitches in the round and increasing with stitch markers requires a level of dexterity I just don't have at the moment.
He posted a link to some alternatives as well and I chose to do something similar to the PinkQueenYarns variant. I think it'll look really cool all put together.
I'll keep what I did yday for a future project.
Also tbh my poor hands are not up to that much garter stitch in the round, I can tell you right now
More of the same, like how this is shaping up. With bonus Steven.
End of Clue 1! (Revised version based on this mod https://www.ravelry.com/projects/PinkQueenYarns/geogradient-westknits-mkal-2023)
I love how it came out. đ (now I just have to pick up a bunch of stitches. But I couldn't be bothered with a provisional cast on, heh)
Clue 2 done! It's all on cables so could not spread it out all the way, but I really like it. #GeogradientMKAL2023 #WestknitsMKAL2023 #knitting
I am over halfway through clue 3 and I love how the point came out. That technique is really neat.
Clue 3 done! Except for a bit of final end-weaving. #GeogradientMKAL2023 #WestknitsMKAL2023 #knitting
I thought I'd stay up and finish tonight since I only have the bind off yet, but my hands have quit on me. So here's a sneak peek.
Bit bummed cause I was hoping to wear it out tomorrow (I'm actually going out with people, which I never do. Dangit!).
Katy@scarfwitch very nice!
consumableJoy@scarfwitch I really love how it looks. I totally get your hands quitting on you - my hands did that today while I was working on my Stephen west shawl. You will have lots of other chances to wear it. Donât hurt yourself for it.
@scarfwitch Clue 3 does really create amazing texture.
Anna Miriamsdochter@scarfwitch a YouTuber I follow said he liked the new clue 1 better than the old one in the context of the next clues and I get that now, although your variation is even better I think, itâs mesmerising. Love seeing the clues develop, thank you! I think I need to knit this shawlâŠ
@venite I can't take original credit for it - one of the test knitters came up with it! I've so loved seeing what everyone did with their new clue 1 square.
Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher@scarfwitch Oh wow the texture tho! đ
@scarfwitch Looking so good!!!!
Pufferfish@scarfwitch That is just amazing. Itâs looking so great!
