towards the top of the right front, i missed a cable cross, and didn’t notice for like, SEVENTEEN ROWS and i got super super brave and FIXED IT- laddered down just the cables and reknit them properly. it took a lot of time and focus but i felt kind of invincible afterwards.

the pocket linings are a little wonky, but i am NOT fixing them. money emoji covering it’s eyes!

some of the bright tweedy bits bled dye in the blocking process, which i was not anticipating!! it means there are a couple of little splotches, rather than flecks, but i’m ok with it.
