Notes

05-01-2022

I Unmade the first version of Naoko made with the same yarn (bc garn tussah tweed).
In the first version I completely got the measurements wrong and used incorrect needles. So the silk ended up stretching the washing and the result was a sweater really too long and wide!

05-01-2022

Redone the sample!

I’m really using thin needles! 2 for the edges and 2.5 for everything else.

Practically perfect sample 22 sts x 37 rows.
muscle After washing and locking.

So I can get started!

Cast on and we hope it’s the right time joy

Initially I followed the size M1 because my bust is 98 cm but arrived at update 8, I realized that my raglan maybe is a little short and the sleeves maybe too tight (in fact my sleeve loop is 31 cm!)

So I decided to undo and follow the size M2 until update 7.

03-03-2022

8.update :
I work 10 repetitions only for back and front! Instead I work all the repetitions for the sleeves.

Back M1: 114 sts
Front M1: 112 sts
Sleeves M2: 68 sts

From here on I will follow the size M1 for the Bust and the size m2 for the sleeves

07-03-2022

I added 5 row extra to the raglan, without making increases. This is because working with 2.5 needles my raglan was a bit tight under the sleeve.

08-03-2022

I split the sleeves from the Bust. I continue to follow size M1 for the torso and size M2 for sleeves. So far everything ok!
Proceed..

Sleeves: I worked size M2 but doing only 9 decrease rounds.
