Notes

Test knit for the lovely Anne, test thread is here.
I’m keeping things simple, with no buttonholes and no waist shaping.

Progress:
2017/10/28 - just started the back increases, I should be done by tonight and start the right front tomorrow.

2017/10/31 - finished the right front, moving on to the left.

2017/11/07 Just joined in the round. Got busy lately with municipal elections and stuff but I should be knitting up a storm this week-end to catch up.

2018/03/04 - Picked this project back up a couple weeks ago, just finished the body. I’m moving onto the sleeves this week and hopefully finishing this before the end of the month. I added a lot of length to the body for the cardigan to drop past my hips.

2018/03/27 - Just finished the first sleeve. For the cuff, since I’m working it over 60 sts, I decided to go down needle sizes twice (1X in 3.5, 1X in 3, 1X in 2.5) to taper it off towards the wrists. I’m working only 3 repeats of the lace instead of 4 as prescribed in the pattern because the sleeves are already more than long enough. Can’t wait to get this done, it will look amazing!

Good lord I can’t believe I haven’t touched this in over a year… there’s only one bloody sleeve left to do. Anyhow, I just started working the cap sleeve; hopefully I will be finishing this one up before the end of the month.

2019/10/14
The stockinette portion of the sleeve is done, now moving onto to the lace portion.

2020/01/31
Alright, finishing this cardigan today. It’s been on the needles for way too long.
