Notes

This will be a “Happy Birthday to me” KAL, and I’m looking forward to it. Already bought the yarn (to get the discount) from WEBS in “Old Jeans” and downloaded the pattern …

Did the swatch. Went one needle size down to size 4 from the recommended size 5. I knit loosely. This yarn is FUN to knit!

While this is not the recommended treatment, I ran a woven Remix Light swatch through a full “normal” laundry and dryer cycle. Surprisingly the yarn survived! I’m impressed.

Last night I finished the yoke and did the “Divide for Body and Sleeves”. The yoke length is with 8.25” close to perfect.

Today I knitted to EOB1 (end of ball 1), which brought me to right after the first decrease round for the front and back shaping.

Interesting how the decreases are placed differently on the front and the back … accommodating the human female physique quite well!

I’m very happy with the progress, the yarn, the pattern.

Done!

And this tee feels like a second skin. The pattern is absolutely a keeper. I don’t like to “model” my projects very much, but this tee is worth it.

While initially I had planned to lengthen the sleeves, I decided to finish them as asked for in the pattern. When I tried it on, that type of sleeve was just perfect.

I only used a little bit of the third ball for 1.5 rows on the body border and for finishing the sleeves. That makes the tee not only very affordable, but also as light as a feather.
