30/Nov/2014 - sleeve 1 done, 19 inches, 50g Katmollet colour. (~150m)

2/Jan/2015 - sleeve 2, second 50g ball. Now to find a long 3.5mm needle…

24/Feb/2015 1/2 of colourwork section done.
Body took 3 complete 50g balls, and a good 15g of a 4th 50g so far. This is because I extended the body by a couple of inches before the waist decreases.

5/mar/2015 colourwork done, neckline cast off. Blocked and drying ready for crochet reinforcement and steeking.

7th/mar/15 Steeks cut, unreinforced and just went for it. Blanket stitched the inside.
Ribbon facings applied.

13/mar/15 Buttons done (blue mussel shell from Textile Gardens, buttonholes not yet reinforced.

Handknit throughout.

Very pleased with how lovely this wool is. Lightweight but warm, and when blocked, stitches look wonderful.

And shush, I ‘cheated’ on the finished date. Finished a wearable ages, just never got around to taking any photos of it till today.
