Notes

I need a very pretty, luxurious, delightful sweater that is fairly easy to knit. This is the winner. The yarn is so beautiful, I can’t even believe it.

SEVEN YEARS LATER, and its FINISHED!!

NEVER GIVE UP!!

5/8 - I haven’t picked this back up in awhile, but luckily i took good notes so it is easy to work on again. I am finishing the back right now. I should have switched off on my skeins… there is definitely a brighter green stripe in the middle of the sweater! I think if you are not me you wouldn’t notice though.

1/21 - still working on it, but i’m also doing other projects, so its on the backburner!

11/14 - shaping for the neckline!

9/4 - the sweater that never ends! But it is such a joy to knit I almost don’t WANT it to end. IMPORTANT NOTE: don’t let your markers where you did your waist decreases and increases move over even a stitch. It makes for a very tricky time when making the EZ fake seam!!

3/15 - Went on a knitting retreat this weekend, so I got quite a bit done. 1 skein of this yarn goes FAR! Almost done with the waist decreases.

2/16 - i recently moved, and am just getting settled into my house and making a comfy spot to knit! I am almost done with the waist increases.

1/11 - Finished bottom ribbing. I didn’t make it 3.5”, I made it 2.5 instead. 3.5” seems excessive to me. Just started the lace rows. Knitting a sweater with sock yarn is SLOW!
