Notes

I fell in love with this pattern right away and decided to knit it using similar colours from my stash. blue_heart

18.02.2025 I got the pattern today and spent the evening interviewing different yarn combos! But the yarn colours suggested in the pattern seem such a perfect match that I will follow it.
19.02.2025 Cast on with dark blue.(3.5mm) Then changing to lighter blue for the ribbing.
20.02.2025 Yoke chart r 1-21. (cc1 took about 25g)
22.02.2025 Yoke 22-36 done. (CC2 11g)
23.02.2025 Yoke 37-44 done (with a few rows frogged).
24.02.2025 Yoke chart r 45-56.
25.02.2025 Yoke r 57-67.
26.02.2025 Separated sleeves and started chart B,
rows 1-8.
27.02.2025 I finished the chart rows 9-23.
28.02.2025 Rows 24-34.
01.03.2025 Finished the chart B.
03.03.2025 Knitting the hem ribbing while watching the Oscars.(Bound off.)
09.03.2025 Knitting sleeves using chart B (body) instead of chart C. It is beautiful and a bit easier to knit.
