Notes

September 2021--this was put aside during the heat and humidity of summer, but I’m on sleeves now! It’s beautiful! I love Highland and I’m very happy with these colors.

Hmmm--wide neckline so cast on with US # 5, knit 4 rounds.
Switch to US #6.

NOTE: I am re-knitting my yoke after a gauge error!
I had switched to US 8 for the color work and it was a mistake! I swatched and am knitting the body on US #5 for a gauge of 20 sts/4”.

I love stranded colorwork. Even the second time ‘round!
