So I spent a little time last night with my very special squish… That ever growing over-sized pile of yarn that will soon be The Beast #4…
And what I came up with was a very interesting little swatch… Im on the fence about both the brown and lime green fingering that I’ve used to get the Madeline Tosh DK up to weight but I figure I’ll stare at the swatch for a few days to feel it out…
I also spend a few minutes working out a little paper size version of this Beast to start planning out my colorwork and ridge work. Let me just say that trying to get an approximate ratio was difficult, clearly I’ve forgotten some old Junior High/ High School math. And considering I did not even want to google it, I ended up with a pretty good mini blanket….
I’m in no particular rush to complete this blanket, just very excited to work out all the kinks (properly!) and get this on my needles. Speaking of which, I need to make sure that I have long enough circulars..hmmm…..
