Notes

Start January 14, 2018
My gauge swatch off. 27 stitches x 35 rows.
Will make a Medium rather than a Small.

Love this yarn! It’s turning my fingers blue though.

01-18-18: Will be sure to stretch my floats. Appears stringy but better too loose than too tight.

Mods: Not doing the X pattern. This lace pattern is beautiful all on its own.

02-07-18: onto the sleeves.
Sleeve Mods:
Will do sleeve decreases for a more fitted look.
Start decreases at 6” from underarm and decrease by 2 stitches every 1-1.5”.Continue until 58 stitches ( 7 X). Continue until sleeve measures 15” from underarm.
Decrease 10 stitches evenly until 48 stitches. Change to ribbing needles ( 3US ) and do 2” in 1x1 rib. : 17” total sleeve length from Underarm.
02-12-18 BLOCKING :)

Used Breezy colour absorber sheets - in fear of the graphite bleeding onto the construct colour.

This yarn is SOOO stretchy. I think I am going to swim in this sweater!….stay tuned.

IT FITS! The Yarn stretched back and it is perfect. I will make another but 1 size smaller in the future.

NOTES: Used my Lykke driftwood needles. HOWEVER could not use them for magic loop on the sleeve. The plastic wire is TOO Stiff!! It stretched the stitches so much I had to abandon and find my old Addi lace inter changeable needles. Disappointed in Lykke :(
