Is anyone else considering a zip closure rather than button band? And @Zanete Hussain once you are back from your weekend might you be able to say if you think there would be any reasons why I shouldn't? 🙂🙂 Thank you!

I redid my short rows twice because they weren't lying nicely but finally got it using a different technique. On my size 3, cB starts with an M1 every 6 stitches. I chose to do mine by kfb and it is obvious. I don't know if I want to tink back and redo the short row section AGAIN.... or just see it as a unique design element..... it doesn't really bother me. Thoughts anyone?? (In retrospect i should have done one plain row of cB and then my kfb increases. They would then have disappeared into the same color.)

The title pretty much says it all.

There are a million tutorials and videos out there on doing stranded colorwork (at least it feels that way!). Since a lot of people seem to have finished with clue 1, as we wait "patiently" for clue 2 to drop what is one thing/tip you wish you had known (or was explained more clearly) when you started doing stranded colorwork? If you still aren't sure or don't know, feel free to add that to your comment too! For me, the one thing I searched high and low for and to this day am not 100% clear on is "spreading your stitches on the right hand needle to ensure your floats aren't too tight". I understand the purpose, but no one really explains what they mean by that. Spread them so they're nicely side by side and not squeezed? Spread them so they're stretched a bit? So they're stretched a lot? I see some beautiful smooth stranded work out there and would love to know what people find works best for this!

Couldn't put it down and don't know how I am going to handle waiting for the next clue! Very happy with my colours so far ❤️
