Don't Tell Anyone....

I didn't find another ball of green size 40 thread in my stash. Plan B required.  I did find a Milford size 20 in pretty much the same shade of green. I thought that if I use size 40 for the rings, I might get away with using size 20 for the chains. I started by using Renulek's stitch count for round 16, but it didn't look right. I started again, reducing the chains from 6-6 to 5-5. I think it'll work. You'd have to be very eagle-eyed to notice. I hope I have enough of the green size 40 left for the outer round. I'm still working on round 16 and I guess I'll have to complete the round before I can see whether it's really going to be okay, but so far, so good.

  3. I see no reason why it shouldn't work. Thread sizes seem to vary with color, so why not try combining sizes? It looks great!
