Notes

This was my shutdown, panic, hoarding purchase back in March. These Beautiful color ways from Wooly Wonka Fibers and some of the last in stock in Taos.

(7/28) I’m more than halfway through the back and have finished both fronts.

Mods: Made the fronts longer—same length as back. Changed the color work pattern to one found in Alterknit.

Added some new progress photos. Finished the first sleeve and have decided to work on weaving in some ends before I work on the next. Thinking I may have wanted to go up to a 4mm needle on the sleeves or picked up/cast on 100 instead of 80. The color changes are more frequent than on the body, so it makes for a denser fabric / tighter gauge.

I don’t think I like the selvedge edge either. It was a little awkward to knit. I had a heck of a time matching up the sides when seaming.

Finished over our vacation in the mountains last week. Got it blocked and a few photos snapped to share. Now we just need some rain and cooler temps to really enjoy this new wardrobe feature.
