Notes

07/07/2023: My ribbing is done k1, p1tbl. I knitted 7 rows of ribbing.

09/07/2023: The yoke is nearly done !

10/07/2023: I’ve separated the body and the sleeves.

Seeing as I was slowly going down the body, I realized that there was the risk that I wouldn’t have enough dark blue yarn. So I decided to begin one sleeve to see how much yarn it will need. I definitely won’t have enough yarn.
So I searched for more of this yarn… thus the delay in knitting this sweater.
I finally received 4 more ball of yarn. The knitting a resumed.

23/09/2023: the first sleeve is done, at last…

24/09/2023: the body grows…

03/10/2023: the body is done, one sleeve to go…

03/11/2023: last sleeve done at last !

Grosse déception avec le fil utilisé, dès la première fois où j’ai porté ce pull, il a commencé à boulocher. Depuis, tous les jours j’enlève plein de bouloches…disappointedwhite_frowning_face
