10-3-14: Gauge swatching now.
21.5 stitches with US 5.
22 stitches with US 4.
24 stitches per inch w/32 rows in 4” with US 3. Geez.
Using the Addi sock rockets US 3 with 40” cable.

This pattern is much like knitting a shawl.
Knitted size medium except had 56 stitches for sleeves.

10-22-14: Just beginning the ribbing on the body. So far, so good!

10-23-14: The body is done! Love the twisted ribbing, albeit the slowest ribbing I’ve done so far. The body took almost exactly 2 skeins of this yarn. On to the sleeves!

10-25-14: Using US 3 16” Addi Turbos for sleeves. With picked up stitches, 80 sts total for my big armpits. Working decreases down to 62 stitches.

10-26-14: Finished both sleeves today and wove in ends. Wish me luck on the blocking.

10-27-14: OMG! It fits! I would say that I’d make the back probably 12” instead of the pattern 11” long before adding the ribbing. That way, it’ll cover the bottom of my untucked shirt.

10-29-14: worn once gauge (US 3):
4” = 22 stitches
4” row height = 35 stitches
