Cast on with US7s, using GTCO with needles held double.

Did 2-2.25” of Twisted Rib = 11 rnds

US 8 for Main Body

11-03-2019

Finish Ball A, which got me to the 10th Raglan increase plus about 15-20 stitches.

11-24-2019

Finished Ball B at 7.5 rounds after sleeve separation
Finished Ball C at at 7 1/8” from armhole

Start Left Sleeve with Ball D, picked up 2 extra stitches then decreased out on 3rd round.

12-20-2019

Left Sleeve - made sleeves 16 1/4” long = 108 rounds
Did 13 rounds of ribbing then JSSBO = 2.5” cuff

Ball D had 10g remaining after Left sleeve was finished. (40g used for sleeve).

Right Sleeve - made same as Left but used Ball E for it.

Ball E had 10g remaining as well, so used same amount as ball D.

Using the remaining 20g of Ball D + E for the body.

Extended the body length so it wouldn’t end up a crop top. Final Body length = 9.5” after underarm.
Ball E had 3g rem after body. 3g of yarn brought me to 4 rows of the Front Ribbing = 3/4”

Submitting for Detention OWL W20

1” of Front Ribbing done

01-11-2020

Front Ribbing finished! 4” equated to 24 rows and since that’s a bad number, I did 2 extra rows before BO, so essentially 26 rows of ribbing and BO on R27. Used std BO to prevent flare in ribbing. Final Front ribbing measurements comes to ~4 1/4”

Ball F: 34g rem after Front Ribbing (17g used = ~3.5” of ribbing)

01-25-2020

Bound off while waiting for Miss P to finish dance class.

Maybe I’ll wear it for bday celebration tonight…but still need to weave in ends.

01-26-2020

Wove in ends, still need to block, but it’s oh so FLUFFY!
