Notes

Several years ago yarn, that I’m using for this project, was turned into Rogue. That project received a lot of compliments, but let’s be honest - Rouge was too small and too short for me. Also, don’t know why, I knitted it using 3 mm needles, and as a result the hoodie was too tough. I have worn couple of times and decided to unravel. Rouge was turned back into yarn balls, and now I’m planning to use this yarn for another project.

Not sure, if I have enough yarn for Oranmore, but we’ll see. After all, I can make sleeves shorter, because 3/4 sleeves are most comfortable for me.

Back is ready, and front is done till the neck edge. So far this pattern seems pretty simple, but we’ll see when I get to sleeves. I really like the idea to knit both sides of the neck edge at the same time. Why have it never occurred to me before that it can be done in this way?

10.10.2017
One sleeve was almost finished, when I decided that it was too small. Starting again, now with circular needles instead of DNPs (because my gauge with DPNs is different) and second size instead of first.

I really hope I didn’t mess up with the sleeves. They seem a little longer that they should, and construction is a bit tricky.

15.11.2017
And I did mess up :( Sleeves are too narrow for me, and sleeve caps are too long, so one sleeve is gone already and I’m going to reknit it.

Done finally!
