Notes

New project for the New Year!

Enjoying the fair isle, knitting body in the round until armhole. Split and knit back and forth.

Picked up and knitted the sleeves from the top down using Barbara Walker’s method. Working the sleeves in one colour only.

Picked up 89 st as written in the pattern but turned out too puffy. So re-did it with 69 sts.
