Glow-Up - Birgitta
It's time for another Glow-Up post, Actually I finished these 3 posts I'm doing today about a week or 2 apart but didn't get around to blocking and photographing them until this weekend so they are all coming in a bunch.
But this Glow-up is for the lovely Birgitta Pattern by Zoya M. I love this pattern, you would be surprised how quick and easy it is to work up given how detailed the center looks buts actually quite fun.

| Where it all begins, the jumbo ball of white thread from Walmart |

| original color pallet sketch |
Color recipe for this is as follows, using jacquard procionmx fiber reactive dyes in Peach, Golden Yellow, Aquamarine & Teal. Peach stock = 5gms dye with 100ml water, I used 5ml of this diluted in an additional 20ml of water to make it paler and then used 10ml of that here. Golden Yellow stock = 5% DOS with 5gms dye in 100ml water, used 25ml here. Aquamarine stock = 5% DOS 5gms dye in 100ml water, used 20ml here. Teal stock = 5% DOS 7.5gms in 150ml water, I used teal on more than half of this dye days projects so I had to mix up more to get a 5% DOS, used 45ml here.

| All washed up and ready to dry, I did end up not using the extra white at the center to bypass having to dye the center of the doily like with Idunn, but that was ok as I didn't run out of thread at the end anyway. |

| All wrapped up and waiting to be used |

| I was surprised and a little disappointed home grass green the golden yellow and aquamarine turned when they mixed with each other but that's just something to keep in mind for next time. |
