Notes

Making my second Vaaka with a bit looser neck.
01.04.2025 All four skeins are caked! I think I will make size M2 (111 cm).
02.04.2025 Watching the knitalong party on IG and getting started with knitting this cardigan! I just love the pink yarns I have for it. (112)
03.04.2025 I have made a few stripes.
13.04.2025 Just started the 4th increase row. Juggling with several WIPs at the moment, but I am trying to make some progress on all of them.
02.05.2025 Sleeves separated! After a mohair stripe! I ended up adding some stitches to get to a more comfortable ease. (sleeves from the next size up)
07.05.2025 Picked this up for couple of stripes. (Now six stripes underarm.)
18.05.2025 I have enough stripes for the body, 15 from underarm, so time to start the ribbing. I counted the stitches and noticed that I was missing one stitch astonished ! I had dropped one stitch on the mohair stripe. Mohair holds on to the stitches, so it was easy to correct before knitting the ribbing.
28.05.2025 This week I have knit the button bands, (but so far buttons are missing), I have also finished one sleeve and started the other.
29.05.2025 I finished the other sleeve today.
31.05.2025 I had to frog the other button band to fix the stripes! (The bands did not match stripewise due to my picking up stitches unevenly.) I added the yarn to consumption notes, about 6 g for each yarn.
