Notes

Made sleeves and body part on my Duo 80 with double Drops Lace light camel.
Size 6,5 ; Gauge 24sts/38rows
sleeves used 26,5g each, body used 59g (=448m of double held lace yarn)

Now blocking this part.

Will add cuffs and collar by hand in garter with 3,5mm needles, holding one strand Drops Lace light camel and one strand powder pink together.

This one will be quick and AMAZING!! :) Love the alpaca and silk combo! So luxurious and delicious!

July 5
Cuffs ready and sleeves seamed. “Only” collar is left. I’m very excited!
Cuffs used 56m of each color.

While knitting the collar, I realized this isn’t going to be as quick as I thought in the beginning. Still very relaxing!

After finishing everything, I blocked only the collar again - best decision ever! Looks so much better and drapes very beautifully.

Collar 92g (736m) of each color.

So, 308g (2446m) total yarn usage - thumbs up! :)

Made a photo tutorial on the sewn bo on my blog!
