The crowds came out with the sun

My new necklace

That I spent too much money on. So now i have to wear at least once a week to feel better about it. I was in a moment of weakness. At least it came with matching earrings.

Great pattern! Its interesting and has lots of texture. The yarn I hand dyes green and purple, and hand spun navajo ply. The wool is super wash bfl.

Fetching completed

They're done. The yarn was dyed naturally with elderberries in the woods. It was handspun (by me) as a two ply. The wool is BFL superwash, so they should hold up nicely.

Sock wars gauge

I hit gauge using size zero needles.

Fetching

Am starting over. With the small size of my yarn, they pulled a little too much. So I'll add three repeats and about 20-30 rows. I'm also going a k2tog, yo row and then 5 knit rows instead of a picot cast off.
