05.31.12--Back completed. This sweater is going to turn out much larger than the pattern indicates. Whatevs. I just made the length up to the armholes 7.25” instead of the 6.5” indicated. I probably should have just made it 7.75”/8” long, but I think it’ll still be A-ok.

06.02.12--Made sleeves 9” before starting decreases. Finished 2nd sleeve.

06.03.12--Knitting front bands along with the knitting using US size 5’s. Not bothering with having too many needles on hand. It’ll be fine.

06.04.12--Knit 7 repeats of neck decreases instead of the 6 that are called for in order to get the final 2 sts the pattern states. (Pattern mistake?)

It’s been a long time since I’ve seemed a sweater together. The mattress stitch is really fun, but I’m not skilled enough to do it while studying, so it’s really killing the studying for me. :(
