CO 60st for front and back (20st/10cm).

Using Judy Backer’s magic cast-on. Very quick knit for the front and back panels. Will see how it goes with the side panels and putting it all together.

Back - 146 rows
Front - start cowl increases 2st at row 77 and I’m t at row 111.

Front and back panels done. Working the side panels simultaneously. Decided to change the pattern for the side panels, as the original design wasn’t to my liking with this yarn. Doing a very simple chevron design.

June/2013
I was all excited when I finished knitting. It lasted until I started putting parts together. The yarn was great to knit with, however seaming - GRRRRRRRRRRRR. Attempted it three times using different techniques - same unsatisfactory results. Put this project aside for a bit to avoid yarn massacre.

Decided to make things easier for myself and seam everything on my serger - WOW I’m in love with the results. Make sure to disable the cutting knife if you plan to re-use the yarn in the future. This might be my new method for finishing sweaters. No holes, minimal bulk and just enough stretch.
