01/27/2009 - I saw the yarn and knew I had to have it.. so I pondered what I would do with it and decided it just had to be Mr Greenjeans.

01/31/2009 - Already got a few inches on it. Have I ever knit that much so quickly? Thicker yarn than usual but I still usually take my time. Hopefully the honeymoon feel lasts to get it done by this spring.

02/19/2009 - Haven’t worked much on it lately, but when I do pick it up it goes fast (or so it seems to me). Pondering trying to get a skein or two more since I’m utterly paranoid that I don’t have quite enough. The length should be fine, but I want slightly longer sleeves. With my long arms, I need it as the length in the pattern falls to my elbow and I dislike sleeves that short in general.

03/06/2009 - I just ripped it aaaaall out. Not because I dislike it or anything, but because when I got to the point to try it on and did so.. it was too damn big. We’re not just talking a little big, this was 7 inches too big and was more of a wrap than a sweater. So I dropped it down a couple sizes. I like the drape, how the fabric looks knitted as I have, it’s just the sizing so that should take care of it.

07/08/2009 - Making progress now, when I sit to work on it it’s a fast knit since it’s a chunky yarn. Finally on the body and it’s the right size now. Maybe I’ll even finish it this year..

03/11/2011 - Started working on it again! Done one sleeve, now I only have the second sleeve and the collar and I’m done!!
