Notes

I should update the amount at the end - didn’t do that for my first one.

For the first one, I split up the main increases from two rows to three and I liked it so well I’m doing it again here: instead of increase after 2 st on one round and after 3 st on the second round, increase after 3 st, then after 4 st, then after 5 st. The numbers come out about right. I’ll have to count when the time comes…

Some sizing notes from Liz:

I got Jackie to measure me up and this is what we have. My sleeve length : from the underarm to the wrist is 18 inches. from my neck around the shoulder to the wrist 26” (with my arm down, not extended so its a bit longer….) my torso length: from the underarm to mid-hip (where the sweater should hit) is 18 inches My back waist length (to the hip not waist) is 22 -23. We tried to measure it so that this should be about where it hits, so that its a bit below the waist.

Circumference of upper arm (above elbow): 13” Circumference of forearm (above elbow): 10.5 “ Circumference of wrist : 7’ Length from armpit to elbow: 9.5”

Done except for blocking and buttons, which Liz says she can handle.
