hi @papermonst! actually, no- alpha patterns are a little different because the only strings that need to be a certain length are the base strings. otherwise, if you run out of one string you can just tie in a new one as if you were switching colors! i hope this helps <3
and the prettiest shade of pink-purple too. you should do a Tropical Flower collection with lily, lily of the valley and bird of preys. just imagine!!!
@spookier honestly, the gradient is so realistic for so little color and small dimension. this is a masterpiece! i also like your fish pattern too. I can't wait to crochet this !!
