Notes

Cast on 24 December, started colourwork 27 December. It’s my first time doing ladder back jacquard. I’m enjoying seeing the little ladders forming.

16 January: colourwork section finished.

28 January: body done, on to the hem with 3.75mm needle.

1 February: hem cast off using the invisible cast off for 1x1 rib. I lost track of the steps a couple of times but it still looks OK.

7 February: knit the first sleeve but it’s a bit tight. Put the stitches on hold and started the second sleeve, which I will work without decreases till it’s the same length. Then I’ll decide which I prefer.

8 March: decided I prefer the looser sleeve. I knitted it straight to the cuff, then decreased from 70 to 50 stitches in the last round before the ribbing.

14 March: blocking.

21 March: ends woven in and photos taken. I love it!
