Notes

Other yarns used in this project:
SWTC, Amazing, corn fiber
Plymouth, Grass, cotton/hemp blend
And bits and pieces of seval others.

The collage picture is my inspiration for colors for this Fall KAL. Most of the yarn are in the picture below.

10/6 - I’m 1/2 through the back, but realized it’s going towards the diagonal. Thought I followed the instructions on not doing that but it happened, so, while it’s still early into the project, I will frog and start again.
10/7 - 10/11: I completed the back. I made a wavy bottom, by adding 1 stitch every other row, then worked the FnF stitch pattern over them when I had enough. I have one little point in the middle but will fix this when I crochet the edge. The pictures just don’t do the yarn justice.

10/12 - Started one of the fronts and will try to do the wavy bottom again. Wondering how that’s going to work for the other side though.

11/14/2010 - Knitting all done. Now to block it into a workable shape and then to sew/crochet all the seams together. Also to add the edge, or mayby a scarf collar. Still haven’t decided on that.

11/16/2010 - Blocking is all done so I’m working on weaving in or cutting off the ends that were knitted in as I went along. Hopefully, I can start on the seams tonight, then do the edging tomorrow.

11/17/2010 - It’s going to be alittle snug at the bottom, so not sure if I’m going to add a gusset or just let it hang down, like a vest.

11/17-18/2010 - Got the shoulders and sleeves attached. On the 18th, I found a dropped stitch right in the middle of one of the fronts. I managed to got it fixed after an ititial bout of panic.

11/19/2010 - Sewed up the sides and decided to just let the fronts hang open. Will start on the edging today.
