Notes

Mods:
Sized up to an 8 needle for the body since I knit tightly. However, I used a size 7 needle for the white ribbed portions to make the ribbing look tidier. I still used size 5 for the neck and bottom hemlines.

Having trouble making the ribbed shoulder seams look seamless; since the pieces are knitted in two different directions, the Vs don’t line up for seaming! Ugh. I hate seamed pieces. Remind me never to knit any garment that’s not seamless again.

Sadly, blocking caused my sleeve cuffs to turn slightly green. I don’t really know of a fix for light staining…yet this happens a little frequently when I have two very different colors. Sigh.

Does anyone know why my yardage between the two marled yarns could vary so much? 500 yards versus 900 yards?
