Notes

I got this O-Wool Balance on sale and really wanted to knit with it right away and I’ve been eyeing this pattern from the summer 2016 issue of Pom Pom for a couple months now. Even though the gauge is not perfect, I am thinking it will turn out ok if I knit the xs size and make tweaks for the sizing if necessary.

Learned something new: double-yarn over increases! Not sure if I am a fan of them or not though….

11-07-2016

Decided to do the double-yarn-overs a bit differently so that I would have larger “holes” for the raglan increases to give it a more “breezy” look.

18-07-2016

Finished raglan shaping and moved the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn last night. I’m in the mindless stockinette st. body part now. Just realized that the majority of this Vaara Tee has been knit on a blanket outdoors in various parks!

Finished up the sleeves today! Am excited to wear it and may start wearing it before blocking it even!!!
