Notes

Fun and satisfying to knit.

I cabled this without a needle, otherwise it would have taken me years to complete ;-) .

I found the pattern itself a tiny bit on the vague side, esp wrpt the collar, but still very do-able.

I made the jacket large to allow for my DD’s quick growth, so it looks a bit overwhelming on her. I also did a very sloppy job shaping/blocking this thing, but I didn’t feel like it needed to be perfect - I like cabled projects to have a slightly wiggly/live quality and not totally straight and aligned.
