Was doing some Obsidian organisation and realised I hadn't updated this project even though I finished it already months ago. LOL
I guess I will put down my Obsidian logs as well...
Remainder:
Weighs 412g in total.
I've never worn shawls before so I spent a while trying to figure out how to wrap it and keep it in place with varying amounts of success. There's a lot of yarn left, so I'd like to make a cuff to hold it in place, then I'll decide what to do with the rest...it's a not insignificant amount of yarn and discontinued, so...hmmm.
Trying to do at least 2 rows a day. Very close to finishing, so trying to have it done between this to next week...then I can move on to focus on the Bouquet Blanket, which I need to finish by sometime in May.
Checked weights and the last colour C ridge took 3.8g, and I have 26.5g left to do 3 more ridges, so I think it's safe to say I have a safe amount of yarn left to continue working in Pewter. I might've been able to do the full number of ridges in the previous section, but then I'd really be doing yarn chicken because I'm knitting quite tightly at this point. The dots are less vertically spaced than in the sample pictures as a result, but honestly...whatever. It's a huge shawl as it is already LOL.
Need to get this done before I get to knitting the Road Trip Shawl and my cardigan. I have some calculations somewhere...I keep taking breaks while working on this so I forget what I was doing...also the Pewter ball was getting loose and crushed by whatever I was putting on top of it so I re-balled it.
Anyway, the next section is the edging. Colour B is white, colour C is grey (Pewter).
Check if there's a chickenable amount of colour C before row 9 of the edging. If not, then the next colour C will need to be swapped out.
If not enough colour C:
If enough colour C:
Both Kelpie and white should have enough remaining for the bind-off.

Just a WIP update...I thought I'd already made this as a project because I started on it quite a while ago, but apparently not.
Since I think I'll be tight on yardage, I'm skipping one repeat of the last bit of the section before the end bits (and tempting fate by not skipping one more repeat).
