Notes

This is the best one I have made, the knitting and shaping is seriously the best. Colour is always more personal, so objectively this is the best knitting and shaping that I have made to date. This is the 16th Lopi sweater. Fun to have something that you can continuously learn, develop and grow. Knitter’s life FTW!

Birthday Man got to pick a Birthday Sweater!

September 12, 2016

Sleeves are done - 3 balls of MC used up, extra long = 53cm.

September 18, 2016

Body: 45,5 cm
3 full balls and an estimate of 2/3 of a ball of MC.

Yoke:
First shortrow after joining - row 2.
Ball nr. 4 of the body was enough until row 9, but for row 10 I must fetch a new ball. MC will not be used again until the very end of the chart, I would have loved it if it would have given me two more rows - ah well, 5th ball let’s do this!

September 22, 2016

Shortrows @ rows: 2, 18, 32, 37, 42

Ran out of blue, turns out I only bought two. Must wait until StephaniesMakeri opens her store again, keep your fingers crossed that she still has a skein.
Must wait until Wednesday neutral_face

Ends woven in, washed and set to rest yellow_heart
