American Beauty, Take Five!

And another happy Friday to all of you! I hope your week was better than mine, but enough said...

Today's post brings us to very nearly the end of our project. I will have one more set of charts, but they only cover a few rows, plus our cast-off. Those few rows are important, but brief! The remaining "meat" of our project is here today. I trust each of you decided either yes or no on the extra Chart A row sequence repeats. After looking over our chart today, you can make a final choice on that front.

Chart C is broken into three parts. You must cover each of the three chart sections on each row. In other words, work the first row of the Right Edge, Center and Left Edge. This will take you across one row. Do not forget that we are still following the Edge Charts also. Please note that we no longer have that pesky center stitch. It is gone... Also note that on row 155, you will find a double yarn-over on either side of the Center Chart section. That is not an error. On the return row (156) you will purl into the first yarn-over, and knit into the second one. Enjoy!

Once again, if you are new to the party, please take the time to review all previous posts with the American Beauty tag. We are way into our process, but there is always time for you to join us.

I need some feedback. There is one final instruction post (after today) for this project. After that final instruction post, I will post finished photos (your photos and mine!) I can either post our final instructions one week from today or wait until April first. I am going away, so even if I post the final instructions, I won't be around to field questions. Do any of you have a strong need to see the end before April first? Post a comment and let me know. Until then, knit on!

  1. I say enjoy your trip and wait, but I'm using cobweb and want to add 32 rows.

    Mary and the lady from Estonia probably want the next section up Sunday!

  3. I still have quite a bit to knit (B3,A,A,C), another project is taking my time and I'm almost done with it so I can put 100% into the finish of this one. So April 1 is fine with me. Have a great trip!
