I'm keen to see which colours you picked as your cD for the neck?

I think it fits! 🤩😍 Steamed it to smooth out and relax the fabric. So pleased with how it’s turning out! Waiting until the end to do the neckband. I’ll need to know how much yarn I have left to decide which to use. I enjoy going through the photos to see how the various color combinations work together!

My happiness increases with each section completed! Any doubts I had about the color choices has vanished. Truly enjoying this process! 😁🥳

Am so pleased with how this is turning out! I was considering starting over with a different fiber for color A, it is acrylic and stiff. But I followed Zanete’s advice and steamed a section of it. The yarn relaxed and is much more flexible (it’s not the same as in my test swatch.) The photo shows the steamed section on the right. On the left the white is so stiff and blocky, but now I know it will do well, especially going into clue 2 where it’s dominant. Happy!! 🤩😂
