So, I've been working on this for a while and it is now complete. I really like the way it turned out. I had a skein of Dream in Color Smooshy (don't ask me the colorway cause it was well marinated). Anyway, skein of about 400 yards which wasn't enough to do get anything big enough for me to be happy with it.
I've been looking for a coordinating skein for Quite Some Time, and finally realized that I just needed another Dream in Color skein. So, the brown color is Lafayette, and I have no idea about the blue.
The pattern is Mechanical Mermaid by Nim Teasdale, you can see it on Ravelry. My project.
Mods:
1) I did knit, purl, knit, knit in a 4 row repeat for the plain rows, because I am not a fan of garter stitch.
2) I did 2 repeats of the Overlapped Rivets pattern, as it created a stronger contrast than one repeat.
3) I definitely did more rows of the Scales pattern.
I wanted to use as much of the yarn as possible, since I ended up with a couple of very tiny balls, I succeeded there. It blocked out to a little over 6 feet on the long end.
