0:46

0:52
Now, what are we working on this week?
0:55
It's a slowown week or a catch-up
0:57
depending on where you are. This is the
0:59
midpoint. We are working the light
1:02
color, which is the fresh bark tone
1:06
This is where you will catch up on any
1:08
rows you may have missed because you ran
1:10
short of your yarn section color that I
1:13
covered in week one. all the many
1:15
reasons that might happen. Maybe you
1:18
want to set some aside for your simple
1:20
border. Maybe your yarn ske came up just
1:23
a little bit short or you're working
1:25
from your existing stash with some of
1:27
the colors will make up that sizing in
1:31
these rows this week.
1:34
You have your check off color road chart
1:36
from week 2 pattern pages or if you have
1:39
the PDF pattern, you have all of them to
1:42
work from. So, let's get started and I'm
1:46
going to show you how to work this color
1:56
All right. So, now I am at
2:00
okay came from here on the last page and
2:04
that of course flows into the next page
2:08
it's too much for one page. All right.
2:11
So I am now I'm on row 112,
2:17
which means the even side is facing me.
2:22
row where you will be kind of changing
2:26
coming from the odd side. And this is to
2:30
keep things easy. And let me show you
2:39
Because the bark is going to now be the
2:43
main color with a little teaspoon. We'll
2:45
still keep our 15 stitches of the pink
2:47
marshmallow along the side. As you come
2:54
odd number side, which we'll be working
2:56
this way, we don't need any more pink.
2:58
So, we'll just now continue working with
3:01
the bark back and forth, back and forth
3:04
as we move to the pink
3:07
uh marshmallow at the end. And let's
3:12
for the whole blanket.
3:14
Let me move that onto my page here
3:18
and show you where we're at.
3:22
Okay. So, if we look here, here's the
3:25
bark, the little bark section. Now, this
3:28
is the section where if you needed to
3:29
add more rows because you ran short of a
3:32
color, this is the time to do it. So, uh
3:35
you'll be able to bring your total up to
3:41
133 rows. You know, say you're at row 96
3:45
right now because you ran short of one
3:47
of Cher's snow or um one of the deeper
3:50
tones. This is where you will make up
3:53
that uh those you know two, three, four
3:56
rows that you need to and it won't
4:02
um graphic too much. Now you see here
4:06
the section that's just mostly solid
4:09
bark with that little teaspoon of the
4:17
That's where I'm at. And that pink
4:20
marshmallow will carry into the winter
4:23
ice as well. So, whatever pink you have
4:27
left from this big section that you just
4:29
worked, you can add that over here if
4:33
So, our pink marshmallow and the bark
4:36
are the colors that we're using two skes
4:39
of. Everything else is just one ske.
4:47
All right. So, I'm working my bark
5:02
So, at this point, if I already say
5:05
this, your measurement as we're coming
5:08
into the bark section should be, you
5:10
know, if you didn't miss any rows,
5:13
somewhere between 27 and 12 and 29 in.
5:21
So, the variance, if you did have enough
5:25
yarn for each color section, which you,
5:27
you know, you should, but these things
5:31
Is because some of the yarns are going
5:34
to be a little thinner. This is a thick
5:39
but the Super Saver or the um Premier
5:46
or if you're using something else al
5:47
together might be a little bit thinner.
5:50
So, you're going to lose a little bit of
5:56
but you'll should still be ending up
6:02
long blanket. And if you want it just a
6:05
little longer, again, this is the
6:06
section that has the wiggle room where
6:09
you can do that, the bark in the pink
6:28
feel nervous about making any
6:31
adjustment, email me. I will handhold
6:36
email is either respond
6:40
can reply to my email from when I sent
6:42
you the instructions each week.
6:46
If you have the paid pattern, email me
6:49
where you got the paid pattern,
7:01
but you should have a good hang of it by
7:03
now. You've worked enough rows.
7:18
So, here I'm working back um on the
7:23
um odd row size. This is row 113 on your
7:27
pattern. And I've I started
7:35
stitch section of the pink marshmallow.
7:37
And now I'm working the bark. And I'll
7:40
just continue it across over
7:44
this larger section of pink marshmallow
7:58
And um I wo in the end already just so
8:02
that when you see me doing this that it
8:04
wouldn't confuse you that I was going to
8:10
Didn't I get both on there?
8:17
And then I'll work my
8:21
about 20 rows of this.
8:24
Now again, if you need to make up rows,
8:27
this is your section to do it.
8:31
So work however many you need to to get
8:38
of 133. And then we'll bring in uh we'll
8:41
start on our green section.
