Notes

Yarn: Love the yarn over all despite the first skein.

8/28/14 First skein of Sage was a horrid mess, took 2 hrs to hand wind it into a ball. Several tiny knots and atleast 10 pcs of veggie matter. Other 7 balls were fine to wind.
9/7/14 Slightly over 2 balls to finish back.
9/25/14 Ran out after seamed the fronts and backs together and did one side of button band. Might have had just enough if I had frogged my gauge swatch. Will probably finish other side of button band and neckline with brown.
Intend to do cabled button band instead of a standard one (50 sts).
ripped out garter button band and redid 2 for ever 3 rows (41). 51 sts was to many.
2/12/15
finally sewed on the buttons.
