Notes

Decided I need a flowy, summery cardigan and found this yarn in my stash, so off I knit!

Casted on for size XL to get M-L as my yarn is significantly thinner.

May 26, 2023

Seperated sleeves from the body.

May 27, 2023

Ended first ball of yarn app. 10 rows after sleeve separation

June 10, 2023

Finished body, picked up 96 stitches for sleeves
Decreased 4 stitches at each side of the middle marker quickly after picking up, plan to decrease 2 stitches every 6 rows after that.

June 18, 2023

Finished the first sleeve after 14 decreases, ending with 4 garter ridges

July 1, 2023

Finished knitting - I am not sure if and how I want to add buttons or if I will just leave it buttonless- we will see.

July 3, 2023

Took in-wear photos after drying - I think I will skip the button for now, it stays put ok when I just “throw” the ends over my shoulder, might add a button later maybe. But I also like how the fronts look when just worn open.
