Notes

8/24/11 Update - What an honor, Storm at Sea won a blue ribbon at the North Idaho Fair! First completed cardigan and it WON!

Swatched and blocked at 18 st/4”, so will do some math-Fu to get the larger size, since it goes to 50.
Can’t cast on until 5/1, so plenty of time to finish what’s OTN.

Molliebatmit verified my mathfu, so I am set to go. Will knit the size 48 (48x1.11=53.28), which is before adding 3” positive ease.

Thea, the designer, is really helpful and answered my questions right away. I love designers who are accessible! Thanks, Thea.

5/12/11 started bottom ribbing this evening after ripping about a dozen rows due to color variations. Decided to keep that skein for accessories or, if needed, for the collar. This has been such fun and I feel like I’ve been knitting more rapidly with fewer mistakes than normal. Hmmm, don’t usually make many mistakes, but have had very few on this. Love it.

5/16/11 I’ve picked up the stitches for the collar and ribbing. Finished the sleeves first in case I needed to use the mismatched skein in the collar. Since I have 3 skeins left, I will use the mismatched one for a hat. If I don’t finish the collar tomorrow it will wait for me to return from retreat next Monday.

5/24/11 FINISHED! And it fits great. Best compliment is that DH asked me to knit one for him. Wowser
