Notes

Using US2 needles for the whole thing because my brioche gauge is stupid.

Frogging attempt 1. This fade needs advanced assistance to not look very weird; skeins 1/2 and 4/5 are both very similar and the transition was just too stark.

02-08-2023

Arm modification: adding an additional 4st from both the front and back to the held stitches for each arm, and using backwards loop CO to cast on 8st between the sides to make up for the stolen stitches. Might pick up a couple of extra stitches when I start the sleeve, undecided.

(update: picked up one extra stitch on each side to keep the ribbing aligned)

02-14-2023

Okay, we’re going to a) make this cropped and b) actually full-on blouse the bottom of the brioche into the ribbing.

On the 30th brk round after arm divide, work a decrease round (decrease 48x, 96st in total):

[sl1yo, BrRsl, sl1yo brk sl1yo, BrLsl sl1yo BrRsl, sl1yo brk sl1yo, BrLsl sl1yo BrRsl, sl1yo brk sl1yo, BrLsl, sl1yo brk] x8

07-23-2023

Sleeve is 149 rounds, then decrease round:

[BrRsl, sl1yo brk sl1yo, BrLsl, sl1yo brk sl1yo] x6

Only 3 additional brioche rounds after (brp brk brp), then k 1 round and work cuff as patterned (but not twisted).
