Notes

I fly a lot. I’m making this second one to get me through winter and spring. Gotta get my hours in, even if it’s cold out. There’s a hint of green in the darker yarn. I’ll probably do the writing in a 3rd, totally different color and tilt it a bit more. I love that look.

I’m blocking the body. While that dries, I’ll knit the pockets!
2/18/25
While the pockets/flaps are blocking I’ll start the sleeves. Went to get zipper and couldn’t find a black one so settled for gray. Our Joanne’s is closing and stuff is already picked over.
Got the sleeve cap done on one. Yay! Sweater assembled (at coffeeshop, of course haha)…
On to the writing… Found this huge skein in my stash… I have no idea where it came from! Thinking of going wild on the writing. Hmmmmmm

Was not happy with the f and the g. Frogging those and redoing them. Maybe today after I fly haha
3/7/25 been too busy with life cr—, but re-did the f and g this morning: see pic. I’m smiley happy.
I will spare myself the dog drone attack and re-shoot modeled pics at another, safer location, soon.
Done! (I had an audience so I hurried 1 pic!)
