Notes

02-16-2016

It’s going along so nicely.
It’s been a challenge to keep gauge correct. But by the right combo of a smaller size and larger than normal needle for the DK yarn, I think it will work out fine.
I’m almost to armpits, just a few more rows.

02-17-2016

I have decided that I knit like a giant. to obtain my gauge, I’m now following the size Medium!
To me this sounds crazy, but whatever works right!

02-18-2016

I modified the body portion.
set up round somehow ended up with 4 stitches between markers. Continued as follows:
(k to marker, sm, yo, k2tog, ssk, yo, sm) repeat, k to the end.
purl.

As March marches in, I’ve been busy, only a few rows now and then. Slow going.
I do love the way that this pattern is complimenting this beautiful yarn! I can’t wait to see how the lace looks.

03-08-2016

Body is 4 rows away from the bind off. It’s coming along so well.

03-10-2016

body completed last night. Only did 4 knit rows instead of 6. So pretty! Onto arms!

03-15-2016

I’m going to start the lace on the cuff tonight, I’m anxious at weather or not the sleeve is long enough. I’ve messed up on sleeves twice now. I really don’t want to get this wrong. I almost feel that shorter is better. Ugh!

03-21-2016

UGH! read all the notes!
I didn’t read the errata, now I have to rip back, my fault entirely, but alas, that’s what i get

03-22-2016

So, if you follow the Errata, it lace pattern works perfectly and looks great! Onward!

04-12-2016

After a few projects got in my way, I’m finally back at it! Sleeves are finished, and I started the collar last night! So close!

04-15-2016

8 more rows to go on the collar!

04-17-2016

So beautiful!
I have a lot of yarn left over.
