Autumn Cape 2017 A Long Term Project Night time Part 1
Today's Blog is being posted exactly a year since my first one on this project. - I said it was a Long Term Project didn't I?
First of all I must apologise for some reason the placement of photographs and text is playing up and I have been unable to correct it.
Additional Night time Wool
Apart from the yarn I have been using I will be using additional wool for the Night time Front Piece. These will be a predominately darker colours for the foliage plus the colours for the animal design.

Rough Badger Design
This is my first rough attempt at drawing a Badger. As before it needs to be transferred on to chart paper.
Rough Un-Squared Badger Design
This is the Badger transferred on to the paper. I have tried to position it so that it is in the middle of the page. This will allow for changing the Design as the Pattern progresses.
Rough Badger Pictorial Chart Design
I have squared off the Badger Design so I can now think about casting on.
Cast On Test
After doing a test piece I then proceeded to cast on 120 stitches on 5 mm needles as before. This time I am including a skyline in the background complete with a crescent moon.
Night-time Front Piece 20 Rows Stocking Stitch
After knitting 20 rows of the Pictorial Chart I have stopped at this point as I need to concentrate on clarifying the Design.
Night-time Pictorial Chart 20 Rows
I have already altered the Design several times from the initial in-putted Design. I needed to move the Badger down so the Moon had more sky underneath it prior to adding the horizon. The progress will be far slower from now on as I need to texture the Badger's coat.
