There has been further progress on Dreambird, but at 11-1/2 feathers, it’s becoming a bit of a slog. Not only is the weather getting warmer, but the sheer size of it in worsted weight rather than fingering is getting unwieldy trying to flip it around for all of the short rows. So I guess it’s a good thing that it’s nearly two-thirds finished. The rate of yardage used looks like it will only yield 18 or 19 feather segments, but in worsted the size should be decent. Here, the mats are arranged in a 4-ft x 4-ft configuration and the spiral-y shape is beginning to show.

Beautiful progress!

Thank you! I really love this design, even with the poorly written pattern. I don’t think I’ve seen an ugly one yet, and there are more than 2200 projects on rav.

Thank you, Irina! I’m on the last legs now. Fourteen feathers, and I have one ball of the jojoland left, so I think it will be 18 total. I’m thankful for this change to cooler weather so I can finish up; it’s been awful warm to wrestle around with worsted weight. 🙂
