Notes

Doing something a little different in the new year and using two yarns I’ve bought but hadn’t had the chance to knit with yet. Super excited. Also swapped out the wrap and turn short rows for German short rows and they are BEAUTIFUL. I don’t know if I’ll ever do a traditional wrap and turn ever again.

Finished the body and now on to the sleeves!

Love the finished product although I think I need to block it again to make the raglan seams lay flat. Finally got a perfect sleeve length and I’m happy I did a fun mix of yarn. Can totally see myself doing a shorter sleeved version for spring maybe in Berroco Modern Cotton.
