11/29/14 - DONE!

11/27/14 - picked up and worked the button band. Had to fudge the last buttonhole so that it was closer to the edge. Not a fan of ribbing. :)

11/26/14 - started the hood. there is JUST enough room to pick up the 46 sts for the hood. It was tough to fit them in. Instructions for starting the hood wasn’t very clear. It says Knit 3 rows, but I did stockinette. Then it also says do decrease row every 4th row (5 times) until it’s 4 1/2 inches. BUT I didn’t know if I should include those first 3 rows or not. I didn’t, and then the 4th row is a purl row, so I did the first dec row on my 5th row. so annoying. Anyway, I made it work, but it could have been clearer, and I don’t really think the start of hte hood is meant to be garter stitch (i.e. truly “knit” 3 rows).

11/25/14 - finished sleeves.

11/12/14 Finished the body. Working sleeves in the round on DPN’s: so I picked up and knit 5 from the underarm, knit to the end, and then picked up and knit 5 more stitches for total 46 sts for sleeve.
