Notes

17.10.2024 I cast on and started the increases for the shoulders. This yarn is so soft and easy to knit.
18.10.2024 So easy that I forgot to check the increases! I just finished the back piece and noticed that I had them wrong!!! So I will start again tomorrow face_with_rolling_eyes
19.10.2024 I started the back piece checking that I will make the increases right this time.
21.10.2024 Picking up stitches for the fronts (both).
28.10.2024 I’ve separated for the sleeves and now I’m knitting the body.
05.11.2024 The body is finished. I was struggling with the neck band as it became much too small for my head. After several tries I settled for only 8 decreases and 6 rounds of ribbing. I also made the bind off in ribbing to get a bit more stretch. (used 4.7 balls =517m)
07.11.2024 I finished one sleeve and started the other.
(6th ball going)
08.11.2024 The second sleeve is done.

Before blocking: body 29 cm
sleeve 40 cm

After blocking: body 31cm
sleeve 41 cm
