Notes

12/27 - Cast on yesterday and have already split for the sleeves. Very quick knit so far.

12/29 - Finished body.

12/30 - Finished both sleeves.

1/1/11 - Finished and blocking. A sweater in 6 days! Not bad at all! Pictures up when it’s dry - probably a couple of days or so.

1/2/11 - Added photos - I gave it a quick tumble in the dryer as it did turn out a bit big on the shoulders. It seemed to solve the problem so yay! :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE it and went a bit overboard on pictures…

Mods: I knit the sleeves to 14” to make them a little longer and only did two sets of increases after the waist decreases instead of three as I didn’t think I needed any more. Glad I did this - in fact I think I could have omitted the increases altogether, but it looks fine with just the two I did do. I made the cardigan at 4.5spi instead of 4.75spi to give it an extra inch of space. I probably could have done without this and just done the 4.5spi but I do like the roominess in it.
