I finally put aside my Holly Sweater long enough to work Clue 3 of Advertence. I actually knit about half of this clue twice. The change in mosaic pattern resulted in the garter stripes on the edges getting longer, and I just didn’t like the look of that, so I ripped back and added extra slipped stitches along the edge where appropriate when I could without disturbing the new mosaic pattern. It doesn’t completely preserve the edge pattern from clue 2, but I think it does enough to fool the eye, without making the new mosaic pattern look strange. My left edge appears to be a bit looser than the right edge, I will have to keep an eye on that. Hopefully it won’t be too noticeable once it is blocked.
