Note to future self: The bind off on my swatch was very tight compared to the cast on. I should switch to a larger size needle when I finish.

1/5/12: Just frogged the little progress I made. Stitch counts were all over the place indicating that I wasn’t increasing evenly like I was supposed to.

1/25/12: Realized that I simply wasn’t reading the pattern correctly. Problem was with knitter, not designer.

3/28/12: Almost done! This is a great first sweater. Will be reknitting this pattern.
