Notes

27.04.2025

Only used the smaller needle for the collar ribbing - completely forgot for the hem and cuffs. For some reason the pattern/formula only reminds you about needle size for the collar, and apparently I needed the reminders

22.05.2025

Finally did my yarn maths and I used like 700yds less than the pattern called for … … …

Like having an extra skein is fine but three and change is $27 I could have spent on other yarn!
