Notes

10/3/18: Swatching.

12/9/18: Ready to cast on. Starting with the sleeves…
12/28/18: Sleeves done! Casting on for the body…

** added a few inches to the body and sleeve lengths. Omitted the waist shaping.

1/7/19: Started the colourwork! So excited to do the fun stuff now after miles of stockinette! As suggested in the pattern, I went up a needle size for the colour work and it really worked in keeping the tension from puckering. Great idea!

1/14/19: Decided to add one more colour at the top. My sister had this lovely teal she bought then decided against using, so I stole it. ;)

1/18/19: Finished! Still needs a blocking, but it fits perfectly and I LOVE it!
