Yarn:  Lillian Fog + Mini Multi Bundle No. 7

            Mods:  3.5mm needle, CO 110 stitches
                        Two-row stripes
                        Work each mini to the end

            This option required a full skein of Lillian plus an additional 11 grams
            of a second skein.  For an option of only one skein of Lillian, don't use
            the mini skeins to the end so the yardage between the Lillian skein and
            the Mini Multi Bundle match.
