Putting this baby on pause again for another test knit. I keep saying I’m not going to do them for a while, but I keep doing them. I will finish this one some day soon though!

Wow. Didn’t realize how long ago I’d set this down. Picked it back up again tonight. I want to finish it!

Going to do decreases on the sleeves rather than increases. They will still be 16” in circumference and that’s HUGE at my wrists. My wrists are about 7.5”.

Almost all patterns in my size have sleeves that are ginormous on me.

Also cut about 14 rounds out of the sleeve otherwise they’d have been waaaaaay too long for my T-Rex arms.

Am much too lazy to figure out how much yarn I used since this was not a test knit and it’s probably not a pattern I’ll use again… but I had plenty of each color left over… if you’re trying to decide if one skein for each of the CCs is enough.

I also added about an inch and a half to the body I think. And shortened and decreased the sleeves as mentioned previously. Otherwise I followed the pattern. Except I think I missed one knit and one purl round maybe on the last yoke stripe. It’s fine though.
