Notes

Some colorful whimsy.
Sweet Summer Candy Tee for Meeeeee!

This yarn was stashed in August 2015. It’s ready.
1 skein Violette (013, lot 09)
1 skein Kiwi (007, lot 10)
2 skeins White (001, lot 09)
1 skein Raspberry (015, lot 08)

Lace = Raspberry
Body = White, Kiwi, and Violette stripes
With white always every other stripe, Kiwi and Violette striping is determined by Random Number Sequencer -- random sequences of 1 through 5, starting with Kiwi Yarn

4 3 1 5 2
2 4 5 1 3
1 2 5 3 4

etc., as needed

Jogless Stripe Method I’m using.

The first few rounds after joining the sleeves to the body were rather awkward and tight, but things got better further on -- One reason I prefer top down raglans, but oh, well.

I used a three needle bind off to close the underarm seams. There were some pretty big holes that also needed to be fixed. This yarn is a little slippery so the stitches drifted and the holes were inevitable. I wonder if simply binding these stitches off, rather than putting them on waste yarn would have helped?? No matter. I tried to make things as tidy and secure as I could.

Fun pattern!
