FO: Zombies Need Not Apply

Project Name:
Zombies Need Not Apply 1
Pattern: free on MagKnits, originally by PieKnits
Yarn: Dale of Norway Baby Ull, 0090 Black, 0007 Grey Heather, 0010 white; less than 1/4 skein.
Needles: US 2 and 3 metal dpns
Pattern Adjustments: Cast on in regular long-tail method instead of method in pattern (I couldn't be bothered to learn a new cast on technique). Other than that, knit exactly as the pattern states.
Notes: Love it! For my first multiple color, stranded color work it came out amazing. I'll def be making lots of these.

See above.
Pattern Adjustments: Used what I call the thumb cast on, just a different long tail that i was taught with.
Notes: This cast on method is def not as stretchy, so I dont think I'll use it for a project like this again. Good to know. Just hope I remember. Also, instead of stranding the purple thread for the bow, I cut a long piece and dangled it in the area of each bow, using 1 strand for each bow. Since I had to pull it back to the beginning when I had knitted it a couple stitches away, it got all bunched up. I think, next time, I'll just strand the third color along.

Although..... weaving in all those different ends for such a small piece is a huge pain the the a**!

Both of these were gifted to Ariel as part of our knitting group Secret Summer Solstice Swap.
