FO: Zombies for Liz

Project Name: Zombies for Liz (Zombie 3)
Pattern: Zombies Need Not Apply, free on MagKnits, originally by PieKnits
Yarn: Dale of Norway Baby Ull; 0090 Black, 4516 fuchsia, 0010 white; less than 1/4 skein
Needles: US 2 and 3 metal dpns
Pattern adjustments: accidentally messed up the first 3 rows of fuchsia/black patterned colorwork so i messed it up at the end so it would match. You cant tell though unless you look at the pattern and then look Really hard at the wristcuff. I also have a problem with casting on too tight so I cast on the larger needles instead of the smaller ones.
Notes: Really liked the way it turned out. Liz loved it. I actually finished this one right after the other two, but couldn't show it since it was a birthday gift for Liz. Her birthday was a couple weeks ago, but she has mono so I didn't get a chance to see her until this past week. Now that I've made some for other people its time to make mine! (knowing how often I get around to knitting for myself, this could take awhile)

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.



Project Name:
Zombies Need Not Apply 2
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.
