Notes

This will be highly modified (I’m mainly using the yolk instructions and that’s about it)

02.18.11: legs are both finished and I’m on to the arms now. I’m thinking I’m going to pick up the stitches around the arm instead of seaming at the end… because I try to do as little seaming as possible. Then hood, then button section, weave ends and all done. So far sooooo good!

02.20.11: hood is finished and all ends up to this point are weaved. Working on picking up st for seed stitch button band.

02.22.11: gave it a good lanolin soak and it’s been blocking for a bit now. I ripped back the button band because it just wasn’t working. I’ll work on it after the piece is dry… probably tonight. I also ordered these buttons from Tessa Ann and they should be arriving in a week or two… yay!

03.09.11: finally sewed on the Tessa Ann buttons and I’m ready for little man! I have one gold button left too… gotta figure out what I“m going to do with it.

My notes. Seeing as how this is really loose, feel free to pm me if you have any questions. I’m going to try to translate better and post on my blog but no promises seeing as how I’m due any day now :D
