Jack tried on last night. Fit is good. Probably have another 3ish” to knit before ribbing.

November 9, 2022

Knit body to 12.5” prior to ribbing.

November 14, 2022

Body complete

November 15, 2022

Natasja’s instructions are so very clear. Picking up sleeve stitches and keeping in pattern were no problem!

November 18, 2022

First neck ribbing was too tight. Ripped out. Picking up with size 4mm and 100 stitches.

November 22, 2022

Knit sleeves to 16” prior to ribbing. Length seems good for Jack. Onto ribbing

November 23, 2022

Used Jeny’s surprisingly stretchy bind off for both body and sleeve cuffs on stated needle size.

Weaving in ends now then blocking!

November 24, 2022

Bind off

I had difficulty with bind off being too tight. Using 4mm needles and Jeny’s surprisely stretchy bindoff for neck, cuffs and hem.
