Notes

Kit coming from Sweden. Bohus Stickning. Not working from book as above but from the reproduction kit.

My gauge is perfect at 8.5sts“

Finished the ribbing
Finished the yoke and ribbing in 10 days. Will update pic soon
Still haven’t updated picture but back and one sleeve done as of 07/09

Chopped of the ribbing and redid the neckline to match the sleeves

Finished short rows on front.

07/09 Finished front and 1/4 of the final sleeve. Getting kinda nervous on the enough yardage front. I should be ok and I have the nagging feeling I have another ball somewhere but where?
08/02/09 Found the missing ball redid the neckline AGAIN. Am halfway down the last sleeve and now I found the missing yarn I am going to length the sleeves and body
08/03/09
Still rocking my way through the last sleeve but have lengthed the other sleeve out. Am trying to space the alterations out so they are not all left to the end because then I might not want to do it.

Have finished all the main knitting and have 2” left of the alterations as of 08/09/2009

08/10/2009 Cast off and finished knitting. Am sewing up the raglan part then soaking and blocking then will sew the sides and sleeves

8/12/09
All ends woven in and all seams finished. Blocked and pressed.

09/09/09
Have ripped back to the yoke and will reknit up the plain body to achieve a better fit. This time I am knitting completely in the round and am using japanese shortrows.
