Notes

04-14-2022

Making it a sweater dress/tunic length, need to scale pattern for child size.

07-15-2022

Been slow going. Making a smaller size for child, so lots of learning on how to scale pattern. Sleeves have been joined and almost ready to start the pattern on yoke.

07-21-2022

Figured out how to have even tension while knitting the patterns on the yoke. In order to manage long floats, I decided to lock them every 5-6 stitches.

07-23-2022

It was a slow going project, not because it’s hard, but because I had to learn a lot of foundational things in order to modify the pattern. Really glad I chose this pattern and this yarn. Now that I’ve finished, I can truly say it was a delightful knit, and I learned a lot!
