Notes

My first color work project and definitely won’t be the last. It’s a lot easier than I thought. Ragga is an excellent teacher and I really like her spontaneous and relaxed style. Great class.

Finished the yoke -> Separated the sleeves and the body -> worked the body -> worked the left sleeve -> worked the right sleeve -> Blocked - > Steeked (What an experience in cutting your knitted garment!) -> Sewed ribbon, made button holes and sewed on buttons -> DONE!

The only modifications I made were lengthening the body and the sleeves, and repeating a few rows of color pattern of the yoke at the cuffs as inspired by KCee.

I am VERY happy with the result, it’s so warm, windproof and fits perfectly!
