1/23: Actually completed the back as of 3:20am today :) So can start the left “wing” this afternoon :) Light blue for the left side; Paddy green for the right :)
1/26: Have about half of left “wing” done, after not going anywhere Sunday & attending knit night last night :)
1/28: Started 9th “row” of squares of the light blue :) Need to join 2nd ball of this to continue. Can I get it done for MWCF? .We’ll see :)
1/31: Left side done except for the 5f mitered squares. Have used almost all of my color B (mauve); also used less MC1 (light blue) than patt states.
2/09: Finished last block on left side :) Used MC2 In place of of color B in the last 3 squares. Will use MC1 on other side. An unintentional bit of personalization ;p Disappointed I won’t have this done before ravelympics start/my birthday :(
