Notes

Colorwork 2 using pops of color

03-15-2021

Cast on 110 stitches. K1, p1 ribbing. 6 rounds on US1-1/2 needle

03-30-2021

My Row gauge on the yoke is off

My colorwork row gauge is off because this is the first time I have ever knitted with Rauma and it’s very sticky -grabs anything in its path while knitting

Per Isabell’s recommendation for Size 2:

Finished knitting the colorwork

Knit 1 round

Next round: k7, MIL repeat around 40 stitches increases - 320 stitches on the needles

Knit 2 rounds

Next round: K17, M1L, (K26, M1L) knit to 17 stitches before end of round - increased 12 stitches; from 320 to 332

Placed markers: 52, 63, 102, 63, 52 = 332
BOR is between the 52 and 52 back stitches. 63 stitches are the sleeves and the 102 is the front

Did short rows as written

Separated body from sleeves

For me … this yarn that has a category of fingering weight knitted up more like a sport weight.

04-17-2021

The place I bought the yarn had it listed as fingering weight.

I knitted the sweater according to Size 2. It’s a little oversized closer to Size 3 but I always wear a t-shirt under my sweaters. My bust is 39 inches and I am true US 12/ Euro 42 size
