All photos are color corrected to what the yarn looked like to me at the time. I honestly have no idea what color this yarn is, aside from “pretty”.

Began second skein at the end of row 7 repeat 7. Aiming for 7.5 repeats before armholes.

Settling on 8 repeats before armhole divide; 4 after that and before neck shaping. 2 repeats for the collar.

38g of skein 2 left after completing the body. Added an extra half-repeat on the second collar piece so they’ll match up when I graft.

Going to start the sleeves with the third skein, since not alternating means I’ve got sort of a two-tone thing going on. I like it, but I want everything to sort of match? So I think I’m going to save the rest of skein 2 for the button band and the top of the sleeves if I really need it.

Planning sleeve increases, and also knitting them flat (because it’s easier to track increases, and also I prefer setting in sleeves before they’re seamed):

• cast on 42 sts (40+2 selvedge)
• knit ribbing as patterned
• increase on each side at beginning of each lace repeat for 9 repeats

Completed sleeves. Ended up doing 8.5 repeats before beginning sleeve cap shaping.
