Notes

10/14/2023

The baby is due 10/24/23 by C-Section and we are having dinner with Nanci & Chuck on 10/20 so my plan is to finish this by then to give it to them at dinner so they will have it in time for the birth of their grandson hugging_faceblue_heart

using my Lykke Blush 3.5” interchangeable needles & 24” cable

10/17/2023

Through row 108, BSJ measures 15” from sleeve to sleeve and 9” from neck to hem using size US 5 (3.75mm). Back width is about 8”. I am going to stop for now and cast on another one using size US 7 (4.5mm) & 28” cable to see how big this one works up. I think I’d like a bigger size to give to Chuck and Nanci so their grandson can wear this for a longer period of time kissing_heart.

Size US 7 BSJ through row 55 measures about 17” sleeve to sleeve so about 2” larger. Back width is about 10”.

Going to frog frog the smaller one and continue on with the larger one. I hope I don’t regret my decision zany_face.
