Notes

Used to calculate decreases: http://www.worldknits.com/knitting-calculators/

I always seem to need a reminder in M1R and M1L: https://blog.tincanknits.com/2013/10/03/m1/

Like everyone else, the Very Pink tutorial is essential: https://verypink.com/2010/04/06/wrap-and-turn-wt/

Used this to calculate button spacing: https://www.sewknitlove.co/knitting-buttonhole-calculator/

Seamed sides with Vogue Knitting technique for garter stitch: http://www.vogueknitting.com/pattern_help/how-to/beyond_t...

The back of this knit up so quick, I was thrown for a loop when I started the front - I had never done Wrap and Turn before. After almost a year I picked it back up and had to a lot of trial and error before I figured it out and just thought of it as short rows instead of a bias slant.

Horrified to find some moth damage on back piece when I picked the project up again after the winter, but I think I found all the damage and remedied it. Ended up about a skein short of what I needed (an inch of the cowl and the button band), but was able to pick it up at Rhinebeck from Harrisville.

The shortage explains why the sweater seemed a bit big when done - blocking helped a lot.

Finished with buttons I also picked up at Rhinebeck 2018: https://www-melissajean-net.myshopify.com/
