Notes

I may use the blank slate of the front of this fabulous cardi pattern to try the roositud inlay technique.

Hmm. Nope. I decided to modify the pattern as I did in this version so it opens down the middle front, but without the stripes. (Leaving the roositud link here so I can find it later.)

CO 53 and set up as follows: 4 (garter st band) + 6 (front), kfb, M, kfb, 5 (shoulder), kfb, M, kfb, 15 (back), kfb, M, kfb, 5, kfb, M, kfb, 6+4.

October 20: Just needs blocking and buttons now. I like how the aran yarn for the cuffs gave the sleeves a bit of flare. Darling!
