Notes

I’ve got a google translate app and I’m not afraid to use it.

My yarn is thinner than what the pattern calls for, so I’m using needles appropriate to my yarn and knitting a large to end up with a medium.

I started with a sleeve as a swatch, and so far so good. I’ve finished all my increases and the sleeve width matches the medium size. Onward ho!

All that’s left is the buttons and the blocking!

A straight forward pattern and a pleasure to knit. I made it harder on myself by messing with the gauge, so I’m anxious to see if it fits.

Amazing what a good blocking will do.

Huzzah! It fits and she loves it. She wore it all day at work.
And she also really liked the color.
