Dec 10: I have finished the first part bottom to arms and now I have begun the arms. I think I like the idea of top-down better and knitting as all one piece, but so far, this sweater has not been difficult to do at all and I am enjoying the colors/patterns and simplicity.

Dec 27: Last night I attached the 2 sleeves. This part confused me, because it was not intuitive to me, the way it all twisted around. I was worried, I was going to mess it all up, but I figured it out. I had a hard time conceptualizing how it would all form together. I think I def like top-down better. Still, so far, that was the hardest part of the sweater. It is mostly pretty easy, just takes a long time to knit such a grand project!

Jan 8: Finished knitting and seaming underarms. just need to weave in ends and block!
