Notes

Plain black only. No design on it.

Two inch hem of undyed Eco Wool on the inside on the main body. Three rows of black for an inside hem of the sleeves.

Armholes are very bulky and somewhat uncomfortable.

4/29/09 - After not wearing it once due to it being so uncomfortable, I resigned myself to frogging it. Hopefully the yarn will be better used for another project.
