Notes

dec. 26 2009: Started swatching. Bought all the yarn for sale at ‘t Knupke in Rosmalen. Hope I’ll have enough…

june 02 2010: After letting this great project hibernate due to a shoulder injury, I’m going to try to work on it again. Hope my shoulder will be ok with it, since it hasn’t totally healed. (but I am allowed to knit, just not sure if knitting two-handed will be such a great idea)

nov. 08 2010: Still no luck with my shoulder, but I’m slowly making progress. I just can’t stay away from my knitting. Almost done with the body of the cardi.

March 06 2011: Shoulder is doing better. Had to frog the sleeve because it was to small. Reknitting it now. Almost half done with the first butterfly chart (chart b).

August 24 2011: Shoulder healed and working quite a bit on this cardi again. Now halfway trough the second sleeve. Body turned out to short, so going to add 1 or 2 butterfly stripes. Guess the end of this cardi still isn’t near.

March 23 2012: Almost done! I’m done with the body and the sleeves (added another 2 stripes). Now knitting the last tiny bit (a strip of 14 stitches wide and about 250 cm long) and then the sewing and CUTTING
