Notes

This is my first sweater!! The pattern is complete and easy to follow. I appreciate the row by row instructions. I have been alternating skeins on one of the front edges - no problem there. Switched out one of the balls for alternating.

Also ran into a mill knot, and because this yarn is not superwash, I cut the yarn and then opened up the plies from each end. I cut out one ply from each end to reduce the “volume” of the yarn and then intermingled the plies and did a spit splice. Can’t see the join at all which I did in the middle of a row.

9/28 - I am doing the ribbing now. Have about 3/4” left to go and should begin the button band tonight or tomorrow. Getting excited, but time is also getting short!! Rhinebeck is in less than 3 weeks and I have lots of dyeing to do as well as other things!
