Observatory MKAL - Clue 3 Done

 

I did not immediately start clue 3 because clue 3 has nupps, and I don’t do nupps, so I waited until a couple of other fast knitters had knit the clue to see how they were being used in the design before I decided how I wanted to handle them.  In the end I replaced the nupps with beads, which is my standard response to nupps.  I treated the stitch as established in the design, slipping it on the right side and purling it on the wrong side.  I chose a light amber/copper bead to provide a bit of contrast and color.


Pattern:  Observatory MKAL by Larissa Brown
Yarn:  Zen Yarn Garden Superfine Fingering 
Needle:  US 5 (3.75 mm)
