Notes

5/13 - Blocked fronts & Back.
Ran out of yarn 10 rows shy of finishing the sleeves. Ripped back to the ribbing and adjusted the pattern: (increase row, plain row, increase row, plain row) 2x, then began arm shaping as written. This removed 10 rows, which gave me yarn to spare at the end. I’ll be using a smooth yarn to do the seaming, probably leftover Patons Grace.

In the future, I will buy one more skein of yarn than Sublime’s patterns require. I always seem to have barely enough to finish.

5/5 - Realized last night as I was starting the arm shaping that I had too many stitches for each piece. The directions clearly said to decrease in the last row of ribbing, but instead I increased. Ack. Yanked both sides back to the ribbing and commenced reknitting while doing deep breathing exercises.

5/4 - Back is finished, almost to the underarms on the fronts, which I’m knitting simultaneously.

4/29 - This is going SO quickly. Cast on last night and am already to the underarm shaping! Yippee!

After very gently handwashing this lovely, it has grown quite a bit. I’m contemplating ripping it out. It rarely got worn, as it was… So sad, because I did such a lovely job of finishing.
