#ShowandTellTuesday with #LitsyCrafters and @Catsandbooks

I‘m working on a planned pooling project! You have to count the stitches per colour of a variegated yarn and put in the number of stitch repeats into plannedpooling.com and determine how many stitches per row to do to get a cool kind of plaid pattern. Keeping the number of stitches the same is hard and requires varying tension and frogging a lot. This has taken me ages but I love it!

Kitta Yarn is Loops & Threads Impeccable in Sage multi from Michael‘s and moss stitch. 110 stitches across and a million stitch markers (okay just every 10) to keep me on track. I‘m making it into a pillow for my aunt. (edited) 2mo

Kitta @Dilara thank you!! It‘s soo much frogging and redoing. But I love the effect. 2mo
