Notes

MUCH better use of this yarn. It seems to be holding up to all the frogging and swatching… perhaps a little bumpier than it was originally - but the pattern starts at the bottom - so no-one will notice, right?

Worked both ‘flaps’ on one needle and when I reached the end of one ball of the yarn (~130 yds) made the connection to begin the body of the sweater. About 5 inches, instead of 6. Still LOVING the texture of this yarn. :D

This is turning out so cool. The texture is divine - really motivates me to stay on task - a MUST for this ADD knitter. :)

Slowly making progress during CoronaIsolation knitting time… but needs close concentration - so knitting while Bingewatching Netflix is harder smiley

My favorite-st project ever… the color, the texture, the drape, the fit!!!!!! Think I still need to close up the neck a smidgen (it’s already smaller than specified in the pattern… But, I have narrow shoulders and industrial strength bras due to G cup boobs!) So I am used to that!

Needed to follow directions for sleeve ribbing and pick up 3 of every 4 stitches along edge! Doing every stich looked OK until I blocked it - there were too many!!! Live and learn, young Padawan!
