Notes

Front & Back
I added 1” to the Rib welt making it 45 rows.

27/10/10
Found the fair-isle Christmas trees quite simple to do despite the tangle my yarn kept getting in to!
Struggling with the reindeer have frogged it 6 times now and still not right one looks fine the other is more like an giant anteater! aghh!

1/11/2010
Finally finished the front with slightly wonky antlered reindeer - at least they are both the same!

Started on the back, no qty given for rows to armhole shaping! I worked out that for the first 3 sizes there will be 75 rows (add 22 rows which equals one pattern rep, for larger sizes).

30/11/2010
Finished back and joined to front!

2/12/2010
Started the sleeves will add 1” xtra to accomodate my longer arms!

16/01/11
Finished the Sleeves!!!

24/01/11
All sewn together and buttons attached. Though I took ages to do the extra few inches on the sleeves I am really glad I did as its the first time I have had sleeves that don’t ride up!!
Love the Jumper Just a pitty its a month late!
