Notes

06/08/2023

Held yarn double to make gauge. CO and knit first round of neckband.

06/11/2023

Started knitting neckband again. Completed 1st increase.

06/12/2023

Started knitting yoke.

06/13/2023

Finished the yoke increases. Currently have 7.5 in of fabric.

Check gauge after blocking the yoke. I think my gauge loosened since I swatched last year. Might be closer to 28 rows per 4 in.

06/16/2023

After blocking, gauge is 5 stitches and 7 rows per inch on the yoke of my tee. Measured about 2 rows below the end of the lace section. Split for sleeves.

06/17/2023

Blocked yoke.

06/19/2023

Knit first sleeve. Added 16 rounds, knit on larger needles, before switching to smaller needles. Continued to follow the pattern as written. BO sleeve loosely in pattern.

06/20/2023

Knit 2nd sleeve and blocked yoke again. The lace in the yoke really opened up after the second blocking. I love the way my garment looks. The yoke is beautiful. And the sleeves turned out exactly the way that I wanted. I love the length of my sleeves.

06/23/2023

Resumed knitting the body on 6/22/2023. At the end of today (6/23/2023), I have a total of 9 inches on the body. I measured from the CO edge at the underarm.

06/27/2023

Added an extra inch to the body. Knitting ribbed hem.

06/28/2023

CO in pattern. I’m not sure that I needed the extra inch in the body. Good thing I still like the current length! joy

06/29/2023

Wove in ends and blocked.
