Notes

For Black Sheep summer sweater knit along.

The lace is gorgeous! My gauge didn’t match up to the pattern gauge. I don’t like the fabric with larger needles so I’m just watching the fabric very carefully at this point. Fortunately I’m at the smaller end of my size that I’m knitting up so I have some room to play with before I need to see if I add stitches to go to the next size.


10/14 I finished knitting this a few weeks ago but messed up the seaming of one of the sleeves. I finally had time to take it out, steam iron it and resew it on.

I absolutely love my sweater!


I wore my sweater for 1/2 a day; got a giant, unrepairable snag on my upper back. I had to rip out about 2/3 of the sweater. :( At least it was below the sleeves, if not barely, so I don’t have to struggle with the sewing again. I didn’t even get a pic.. :(


Finished again! I had many other projects with deadlines so this one got delayed. I look forward to finally wearing my sweater!
