Note: I got the fronts and back of this knitted up, attached them together and it's far too big for me even though I'm on gauge. It looks like I simply made the wrong size. I'm going to undo it all and make a smaller one. However rather than just doing the same pattern again, I'm going to try and make one up. See [[Kake's Noro Coat - The Sequel]]!

I abandoned my plans to swatch this, since the pattern is simply so wide that I thought I may as well just start the thing. I only bought one skein to start with to check I liked the look, so knitting to pattern will help me see how the bands of colour will work out (this is a multicolour yarn).

  • Started Saturday 6 September 2003 but going very slowly on purpose as I'm enjoying it but don't yet have most of the yarn I need.

My original plans for the swatch:

  • Cast on 33 st
  • moss st 4 rows for border
  • 1st row k1 p1 k9 p1 k9 p1 k9 p1 k1
  • 2nd row k1 p1 k9 p1 k1 p9 k9 p1 k1
  • Rep 1st and 2nd row 6 times
