2 jan 2021 - seamed sleeve. size L on 4.5mm - cuff good, sleeve very close fitting (no ease), not quite long enough (for close fit)
nb. cast on for body - slst, p, k2, p2 etc. but there’s only one purl st between cables, so do this for the back only? Or the fronts only
Fronts - just the one cable at the side seam?
large on 4.5mm
medium on 5mm - st st fabric Too loose, size too small.
mods - plan to knit front ribbing as for back for just that first cable
- no pockets
- front bands and collar worked from picked up sts
13 nov - sleeves finished. should really seam one to see whether they fit …
12 nov - had to reknit half a sleeve bc I missed an incrs. Just reused the recently frogged yarn. Not sure that was a great idea, it’s very rough … have done 15 of the 19 sleeve decrs.
11 nov - 12 sleeve incrs complete. Measures 45.5cm (as per pattern). Washed and currently drying
10 nov - first ball ran out halfway bw 9th and 10th incr. same on other sleeve row or so later. 11th incr worked.
9 nov - 8 incrs done. not quite through a full ball per sleeve yet.
8 nov - next row is fourth decr
6 nov - trying again, again. Cast on both sleeves, 42 sts.
29 oct - well, turns out that I cast on for a front, not a sleeve. And I’m not really ready to knit that right now. Did a bit of the cable though to test it out. Looks pretty good in the yarn.
28 oct - take 2. Size L. Cast on with 3.75mm, ribbing on 4mm, st st on 4.5. Knit first st, sl1wyif. Foundation row 5 - k last st.
25 sept - finished first ball on first sleeve after 9th incr. ugh, ripped back to 4th incr bc I had added a random extra in there. However, first ball lasted until almost 10th once w that one less stitch.
24 sept 2020 - sleeve - 4mm long-tail tubular cast on, 4.5mm for ribbing, 5mm for stocking stitch.
