Notes

I increased the length to 245 stitches (if I remember correctly) which resulted in 30 repeats of the cable pattern.

I was aware of the “bump” but did not have time and/or put in the effort to make modifications as I started this 3 months before my daughter’s wedding. (Next time, here’s a tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W-M4m2P1dA&feature=y...)

My daughter is getting married on St. Patrick’s day and I thought this would be fitting - not only to keep off the chill but as a keepsake. In Cleveland we can have snow or 80 degree weather on St. Pat’s Day.

I blocked the bump out as best as possible.

The instructions in the beginning are a little confusing and I made a few mistakes here and there. There was also a little confusion when you begin the cable portion. In the instruction portion that says “Border” - the set up row is knit on the RS and you stitch across and remove the stitch markers. Then you add more stitches. Then you turn and start knitting on the WS.

I will update when I get wedding photos! The green dress is a bridesmaid dress!
