Notes

2013-06-01
DONE! I’m really proud of my work and that I finished it in despite of all the problems I’ve had.
I bit tricky to sew the buttons and I only needed 15 of them.

2013-05-27
Picking up stitches around the neck line with a small crochet needle. Couldn’t have done it otherwise.

2013-05-26
Cutting steek. Very akward.
Used the machine to secure steek stitches. Don’t over do the securing. The steek will be too stiff in that case. 1 seem on each side is enough.

2015-05-20
Arms finished! Joining them to the body. Now there’s home run!

2013-05-10
F-k! I’ve missed 4 increases on each arm! I’m 8 st short. Have to frogg at least 20 cm on the arms to continue the increases at the right place.
One positive thing about the ripping is that I now can make a better job with not streching the yarn over the magic loop-gap. Now it is a bit too tight.

2013-04-25
Finished up to armpits. Started on both arms with magic loop. Did a provisional cast on to get a really nice manchett. Tricky but well worth it!

2013-04-10
Found a blue yarn that is suitable. Blue. And I that wanted red! Well. Time to knit again.

2013-04-05
Frogged it.
Ordered the wrong number of skeins the first time and got a different dye lot nr on the second delivery. Two very different colors which are not possible to combine in the same pattern.
Have to buy new yarn from LYS tomorrow.
