The wings are done

Wings1 Badwings1

I had some issues with the yarn (Palette by Knit Picks), though. I do NOT know what happened.

Pattern requires: 3 balls of yarn, 220 yds apiece.
Palette has: 3 balls of yarn, 230 yds apiece.

And yet, somehow, I managed to get 1 1/2 wings done before RUNNING OUT OF YARN WTF?!

So I went back to the first wing (which took me a week to do), ripped it out to the point of the other wing, divided the remaining yarn in 2, then started cutting out some rows. You're supposed to do 4 rows and then decrease- from that point on I decreased every 2.

And yet, somehow, finishing the second wing (again), I ran out of yarn AGAIN! What. The. Hell?!

Wings2 I did the same thing again: unraveled the first wing, divided the yarn, started increasing with EVERY row. THAT time I did not run out.

In the end, it's not a big deal. The wings went down to the bottom of my butt before (a bit long for spending most of the day sitting down), so it's good to have them shortened up a bit. But still: what the hell, Palette?!
