Notes

10-15-2015

The shoulder and sleeves of this pattern works great, but I just couldn’t get the neck to size correctly after multiple tries.. I think the problem is my son’s big head, lol. V neck here I come….

The body is also sized wider than modern fit. Tommy has a very narrow body so I really have to think about that in the future.

Overall I am thrilled with the recipe and I like how I can easily adjust it to meet Tommy’s body. I always have the most complaints when it comes to sleeve but this recipe really does a good job on the sleeve in terms of look and ease of wear.

I am using up a lot of my short yardage fine yarns on Tommy knits although it is not very practical. Little boys are very very dirty….. I really have to start stocking super wash yarns for him.
