White

Here we have the do-over entirely in Aunt Lydia's size 10 white bamboo thread. I stopped on row 12 because my behind is sore from sitting down. This time I did double the starting chain so instead of 209 stitches it has 418, it measures roughly 2.5 feet in length. I say roughly because I have no measuring tape to give an accurate size right now. The hook being used is size 10/1.30 MM so the stitches are pretty small and tight. I do plan on unraveling the other one with green and salvage the white bamboo thread into this one. One thing about the thread I didn't care for is that halfway through one skein there was a knot tied. Like the machine had ran out of thread before the skein was fully rolled and they just tied another lead to it until it reached 300 yards. Since I'm new to the world of this particular type of thread, I don't know if it's common to find yarn/thread like this.
