Notes

Dyed contrast colors in madder (strong, weak) with alum and cream of tartar.

Changes: I’m using the smaller needle for the garter stitch.

I made three increase rounds instead of two for the yoke after the lace - after every 3rd st, then after every 4th st, then after every 5th st. The numbers came out the same! So now I need more because my upper arm is bigger than that for size XL. Aiming for 8 extra st per sleeve, so just increase again while dividing.

Doing button (zipper) bands before sleeves because I want to. Tried 3st/4 rows and it came out too loose. Trying again 2st/3 rows (because 11/16 is evil).

I have 90 st around on the first sleeve top. I’ll aim for say 56 just above the cuff, so 17 decreases in 15” or every 7 rows. Changed to every 6 rows at elbows, more or less.

Done except for zipper!
