Notes

02/11 - gauge swatch.
My gauge is 18 st x 30 rows = 10cm x 10cm.

02/12 - made both collars. CO for yoke, attached collars.

02/13 - ripped to CO for a smaller size. Realized that what I had already done would have been ok - the stitch count for S and M was the same. Damn it!
Corrected it in the evening.

02/15 - another ripping - miscalculated the addition of stitches. “Will not get angry, will not get angry…”

02/25 - made only 4 rows. Really feel discouraged about this cardigan ;-/

03/03 - I don’t believe it! I’ve finished the yoke. So now the sleeves. Worked in the round, two at the same time with magic loop.

03/11 - started the sleeves. Wow, it’s been a month since I started it!

HIBERNATION till Fall.

09/05 - I picked up the needles again. Cont the sleeves. The cardi might come in really handy this winter.

09/08 - sleeves ready.

09/09 - starting the body.

09/15 - starting pockets: 40 rows deep. The bottom part was joined to the front in the 41st row using 3 needles.

09/20 - part with pockets done. Starting the bottom part.

09/21 - done. Blocking.

I hate this yarn. :-/
It’ll pill and the acrylic makes the edges roll too much.
Still it’s perfect for winter to keep my growing belly warm ;-)

March 2012
Gave it to my mum.
Will make another one in different yarn.
