Notes

May 4, 2024

Finished the yoke! raised_hands It’s looking so good. star-struck

I wish there was a bit more contrast between the blush pink and the light grey and the dark and medium greys. On the balls the contrast seems stronger but I’m still very happy with the colours I chose.

Finished the colourwork yoke and split sleeves and body. raised_hands

August 4, 2024

Took a break from this to work on other things once the weather warmed up.

Knitted an extra 15 plain rounds before starting the sleeve ribbing, including one round on 3.5mm.

I messed up the sleeves BIG TIME. Well, one of them. Decreased every 22nd row instead of 24th woman-facepalming so it was quite a bit shorter than the original one, which was also was a bit shorter than I’d like because I didn’t try it on properly. I’m not about to undo it all and lengthen it though. It doesn’t bother me THAT much. raised_hands

Overall I’m pretty happy with this one and I really love that colourwork yoke. Would like to knit it again.
