Notes

02-08-2016

Finished colourwork sleeve cuff but turned it into a coffee cup cozy as it was too tight (8.5” diameter). Should not have removed 1 pattern repeat and should have gone up to 3.0mm needles for colourwork. Starting cuff over.

2 cuffs complete this past weekend. Part of first sleeve complete.

Have now decided to make this long sleeved instead of 3/4 sleeve, since I don’t like the feel of the tight cuff on my fore-arm.

First Sleeve done. Second sleeve in progress.
Can’t wait to get to the yoke… I think this might be my limit of fine-ness/gauge for stockinette. The interminable stockinette has been a perfect mindless knit for late nights after work and this weekend’s long drive up to Wasaga.

Years in the making and it is done!! It has had plenty of wear and is just lovely. I wish I had a stash full of this yarn. There is nothing quite like this Angora blend.

I made a lot of modifications to the pattern:
I added waist shaping and reduced the depth of the armhole. I also made 1 full pattern repeat smaller than the smallest size listed in the pattern.
